Nollywood Stars at War as Laide Bakare, Eniola Badmus Clash at Movie Premiere
Nollywood stars Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus sparked headlines after a public fallout at the premiere of Eniola Ajao’s film Owambe Thieves on April 13, 2025, held at Filmhouse Circle Mall, Jakande in Lagos.
The event, meant to celebrate the new release, turned tense when the two actresses exchanged heated words.
The drama began when Badmus appeared uncomfortable with Bakare’s presence on the dance floor, promptly distancing herself.
As Bakare approached, Badmus was overheard saying in Yoruba, “Don’t film us together, we’re not friends,” signaling a clear rift.
Bakare later took to Instagram to address the incident, accusing Badmus of ingratitude. She claimed to have given Badmus her first major acting role when others overlooked her due to her appearance.
“I invested my hard-earned money to give you a chance, and this is how you repay me?” Bakare wrote, expressing hurt over Badmus allegedly calling her an “animal.” She added a stern warning: “You’ve started something you can’t finish, and you’ll face the consequences.”
The public spat has left fans buzzing, with many taking sides as the actresses’ feud unfolds online and beyond.
