September 05, (THEWILL) – The once rosy relationship between Nollywood actresses, Laide Bakare and Kemi Afolabi-Adesipe has gone sour. The two best friends, now sworn enemies, have been having an altercation on social media for some days now. Despite attempts by friends and colleagues to call them to order, the two have chosen to continue the show of shame. It all started after Kemi Afolabi called out Laide Bakare, describing her as delusional, crazy and an attention seeker, without explaining why. In response, Laide called Kemi ‘a crazy fellow and unfortunate hater who has a man’s physique.’
THEWILL gathered that both actresses are fighting over a younger lover, Dauda Sulaimon, more popularly known as Gida. Kemi Afolabi has been an item with Dauda for a while now. Despite the fact that he is married with kids, the two are said to be madly in love. Some of their colleagues have sighted them together on different occasions. Kemi doesn’t joke with him and she is always on edge whenever any actress tries to get close to him. However, Laide soon became close to Gida while working together on the set of Family, a movie produced by Usman Michael. Kemi noticed the closeness between Gida and Laide and started suspecting foul play. That was why she fell out with her best friend.
In an attempt to set the record straight, Laide addressed the rift between her and her once close pal. According to her, she only responded to Kemi after she called her out. Laide also stated that Kemi should have called her personally on the phone to sort out their differences. She however denied fighting her friend. She also expressed dismay at the thought of fighting her colleague over a younger lover. She stated that it was ‘degrading and laughable’. She also labeled those behind the tale as ‘jobless haters’ who needed to get their facts right.
Explaining further, Laide made it known that she wouldn’t stoop so low to the level of fighting over a man in Nollywood. She said the young man in question was her colleague and she had only met him a few times in the course of work and at movie locations.
