A viral video has surfaced showing the moment Nollywood actress Laide Bakare confronted her colleague, Eniola Badmus, during a movie premiere event.
Both actresses were seen dressed in coordinated outfits, but the atmosphere turned tense when Laide aggressively questioned Eniola’s mental state. Eniola, unfazed, gave her a sharp look before calmly walking away from the scene.
A man in a suit attempted to mediate and de-escalate the situation, but Laide firmly pushed back, refusing to be silenced.
The incident quickly sparked online reactions:
-
King Emeka commented: “Credit to Badmus for staying calm. Escalating it would’ve stolen the spotlight at the premiere.”
-
The Pato said: “Nice promo strategy. I’m definitely watching the movie.”
-
Ridwan noted: “Aren’t they both government appointees? One’s SSA to a Governor, the other SSA to the Speaker of the House.”
-
The Fourth Man suggested: “This feels staged—something to generate buzz around the movie. These are seasoned actors. Didn’t she just invite Bobrisky to another premiere recently?”
