It has been a messy fight these past days between Stella Damasus and Toyin Aimakhu.
If you do not know the story, here’s a summary. Apparently, Toyin Aimakhu sent Stella Damasus a message saying, “Madam, Nigeria is my country. Nobody is killing anyone cos no be only you do video. #VisaDonExpire. #BringOurSonBack #AttentionSeeker #LoveYouStill.”
Stella, in a video diary she released yesterday titled ‘Mean Tweets and Hate Mails’, replied her Nollywood colleague saying, “First of all, sister girl. I love you too. I love you like crazy. Let’s just look at your hashtags again. Okay? We need to sort this out. You said hashtag visa don expire. I’ve been here for about two years and nobody has asked me to leave. And apart from that I am doing a lot of work with the United Nations. So if I had a problem with my visa, I don’t think they will be working with right now. I’m doing radio, I’m doing TV. Doing a lot of things and nobody has come to knock on my door to say your visa has expired, leave. Honey, when it comes to the visa let’s be sure what we’re saying. And you said hashtag bring our son back. Is your son missing? (looks around and asks ‘does she have a son?’) If your son is missing, let’s look for him. You know me, I can do plenty videos. Tell me and I will scream till my lungs burst or something and make sure they return your son. Then you said attention seeker. My dear, this issue of attention beats me because I have been told that I have been trending. People talk about me everyday. I don’t know who’s writing, what they are saying, please educate me. Even people that pay for PR they don’t have as much publicity as I do so hey…Love you still!”
Toyin has come back for her own pound of flesh. In a response she posted in the comment section of Stella’s post she said,
It gets uglier by the day.
I really don’t know why Stella replied Toyin after 8 months. I wouldn’t have known about this “petty beef” had she just kept quiet. Makes for good entertainment though, lol! You see, some girls actually make money off being trashy & abusive. And although I’m tempted to tag Toyin as “omo alata” (uncouth & trashy) Stella also brought this on herself. So to the two of them I say “Enough Abeg !!!”
