Popular Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has dismissed claims that she was throwing shade at fellow actress Biola Bayo following news of her marriage breakdown.
According to NAIJALOG, the controversy began after Bakare posted a video of herself dancing on Instagram, captioned with a cryptic message often associated with heartbreak or relationship issues:
“All of us will eat breakfast. Asiko lo ma ya to. Good morning people.”
The post, shared shortly after Biola Bayo announced her separation from husband Oluseyi, triggered backlash from social media users who accused Bakare of being insensitive.
However, in a follow-up video posted on Friday, Bakare refuted the claims, stating that the timing of her post was purely coincidental and not targeted at Biola.
Responding to the backlash, she said:
“Bad commenters and trolls associations, something must be wrong with you. Please let us all be guided. It is still June 5th here in California to be precise. I can never shade my own sister Biola Bayo. My prayers are with you. I didn’t get any updates. I was busy with my daughter’s graduation. Trolls are evil.”
NAIJALOG earlier reported that actress Biola Bayo publicly confirmed her separation from her husband on Tuesday.
