Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has dismissed a public apology from her long-time colleague Eniola Badmus as fake, reigniting their high-profile feud just hours after the olive branch was extended. The latest chapter unfolded on October 20, 2026, following Eniola’s reaction during a podcast appearance that left Laide fuming.
The tension boiled over when Eniola appeared on skit maker Isbae U’s “Curiosity Made Me Ask” podcast. When the host named Laide Bakare as one of his favourite actresses, Eniola’s hiss and change in expression sparked immediate backlash. Laide took to social media to call out what she described as repeated public character attacks. She labelled Eniola an ingrate and a nuisance, insisting she had warned her several times to stop.
