Actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has addressed rumours of a long-standing feud with colleague Genevieve Nnaji, calling it a misconception.
In an interview on Yanga FM, Omotola stated that fans and media often pitched them against each other, creating unnecessary tension.
She noted that people don’t need to be best friends, but they have since talked and maintain a normal working relationship.
Omotola attributed the rumors to industry pressures and the tendency to create drama, saying the tension was blown out of proportion.
Using a mix of English and Pidgin, Omotola emphasised that there was no actual quarrel between them.
Omotola replied, “People don’t need to be best friends, but we talked. Like behind film, we dey talk normally. You know the same thing that they do with all these music stars, na we dem take start all those things that time. Na we be the practice that time. You know all this Wizkid, Davido now that they have taken to different level, na we be the first one now. Really, na them start the quarrel before we know say we dey quarrel. So, we have to catch up with the quarrel. There was no quarrel.
“We were young, everybody dey do her own thing now.byou know how the industry is. You know, them go pitch you against this person, talk say na this one be the hottest girl, na that one be the hottest girl. So, those kind tension go dey normally, but people they read am as other things.”
