In a tongue-in-cheek post, Toyin joked that if Iyabo managed to outshine her at the premiere of Toyin’s own movie, Bahd and Boujee, she wouldn’t hesitate to “remove” her from the event. She even upped the ante, daring Iyabo to call her a “bastard” if she didn’t follow through on her threat. Despite the humorous jab, Toyin ended her post with a sweet reminder of her love for her fellow star, proving their friendship runs deep.
Toyin wrote:
“Aunty Iyabo, I swear if you dress pass me on Sunday, if I no bounce, you call me bastard. Not only you but especially you. Kilode be dressing dressing. I sha love you sha.”
As expected, Iyabo Ojo was quick to respond with her own dose of humor. She promised to bring her fashion A-game, playfully warning Toyin to brace herself for the competition. Her comment read:
“Be prepared bcos am coming to slay. No vex.”
This playful exchange has left fans eagerly anticipating a red carpet fashion showdown, but more importantly, it highlights the dynamic relationship between these two beloved actresses.
