Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus: A Nollywood Feud That Went Off Script
Instead of movie magic, Sunday night’s premiere served up tension and awkward stares.
When Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus bumped into each other at the event, things went south — fast. Whatever issues were simmering beneath the surface boiled over in front of cameras, and people haven’t stopped talking since.
A Movie Premiere No One Will Forget
According to several attendees, things got heated between the two actresses at the event. Words flew back and forth, and at one point, Laide reportedly laid hands on Eniola. It wasn’t just awkward — it was shocking.
Some guests were left wondering if they’d walked into a movie scene or real-life beef.

From DMs to the Timeline
By the next morning — 14th April — Laide was already posting screenshots of their private chats. In one of the messages, Eniola called her out for sharing an unflattering photo online. Her words? She called it “animalistic behaviour.”
Laide didn’t hold back either. In her caption, she accused Eniola of being ungrateful and claimed she once helped her land a major role when others allegedly wouldn’t hire her because of her body size.
Then Came the Surgery Shade
In another post, Laide took a jab at Eniola’s weight loss journey, claiming it wasn’t natural — she suggested Eniola had undergone gastric bypass surgery. That set off even more controversy, with many people calling the comment uncalled for.
Real Beef or Just Buzz?
The internet’s split. Some folks are convinced this is just another attention grab — the kind of thing Nollywood stars sometimes pull to stay trending. But others? They think this one’s real. The looks, the words, the body language — none of it felt scripted.
One thing’s clear: whatever’s going on between these two, it’s no small misunderstanding. And online? Everyone’s got an opinion.
