Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has issued a playful but bold warning to her colleague and close friend, Iyabo Ojo, ahead of the premiere of her upcoming movie, Bahd and Boujee, set for Sunday. The rivalry, however, isn’t about acting—it’s all about who will take the fashion crown.
On Instagram, Toyin shared stunning photos of her outfit for the premiere of A Christmas in Lagos, a film by Jade Osiberu. But, as is often the case with the Nigerian film industry’s biggest stars, the conversation quickly turned to an upcoming event: her own movie premiere.
Toyin, known for her bold and often eye-catching style, couldn’t resist teasing Iyabo Ojo, warning her not to outshine her with her fashion choices at the Bahd and Boujee event. In a message that was both playful and daring, Toyin declared that if Iyabo wore a better outfit, she would “bounce” her from the event.
“Aunty Iyabo, I swear if you dress pass me on Sunday, if I no bounce you, call me bastard,” Toyin wrote in her Instagram comment. “Not only you but especially you. Kilode be dressing dressing. I sha love you sha.”
The message sparked excitement and amusement among Toyin’s fans and followers, who quickly picked up on the friendly but competitive tone between the two Nollywood stars. The comment was filled with affection, but Toyin’s threat to “bounce” Iyabo added an unexpected edge to the fashion rivalry.
Iyabo, known for her own glamorous and attention-grabbing looks, didn’t back down. In a cheeky response, she promised to bring her A-game to the event. “Be prepared bcos am coming to slay. No vex,” Iyabo replied, hinting at an exciting fashion showdown on Sunday.
The playful exchange between the two actresses has added a layer of excitement to the upcoming premiere. Both women have earned reputations as style icons in the Nigerian film industry, and their friendly rivalry is sure to draw attention as they face off in a fashion battle that’s set to take place at the premiere of Toyin’s latest film.
While the rivalry may be all in good fun, it highlights the importance of fashion in the entertainment industry. For stars like Toyin and Iyabo, appearances often speak louder than words, and every public event is an opportunity to showcase their individual style and influence. The rivalry also plays into the broader culture of Nollywood, where actors and actresses frequently compete for the spotlight not only through their roles but also through their public personas.
Toyin Abraham and Iyabo Ojo have both carved out significant careers for themselves in Nollywood, and their friendly banter over fashion is just another example of the camaraderie and competitiveness that exists in the industry. They are often seen attending the same events, sharing the same platforms, and even supporting one another’s projects.
Their exchange also reveals how social media has become a powerful tool for celebrities to engage with their fans, spark conversations, and keep their followers entertained. In this case, Toyin’s Instagram post quickly became a trending topic, with fans eagerly awaiting the showdown at the premiere.
As the date of the Bahd and Boujee premiere approaches, anticipation continues to build—not just for the film itself but for the fashion choices of Toyin and Iyabo. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see who will take the fashion crown and whether Toyin will follow through on her threat to “bounce” her friend if Iyabo’s outfit outshines hers.
