Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has cleared the air about shading her colleagues, most especially Funke Akindele and Mercy Aigbe, in her previous post.
The mother of one who recently broke records with her new movie, Alakada Bad and Boujee kindly explained the misinterpreted context in her appreciation post.
Toyin Abraham to her Instagram page to share a video of herself and her fans having fun at the cinema.
She kindly noted that the statement “Without expecting a gift or inducement at the box office to buy our tickets, you’ve stood by us, and we are deeply grateful” was aimed at appreciating those who watched the movie without demanding a gift.
The multiple award-winning actress revealed that reports from her colleagues who meet with fans at the cinemas were not encouraging. She claimed some have refused to watch her film because of the lack of incentive.
Toyin Abraham appreciated their fans and urged anyone not to assume wrong regarding her post.
“I have seen many messages suggesting that my post about the three-day box office performance of Alakada: Bad and Boujee was intended as shade.
Please, that is not true. I am genuinely appreciative of those who have been watching the movie in cinemas without receiving any gifts.
People hosting meet-and-greet events for me have been coming back with feedback that some people are asking for gifts before watching the movie, while some are watching without asking for any incentives.
The movie itself is a gift of love and hard work, and parked with quality entertainment.
Therefore, reaching the milestone of ₦58 million in sales in just three days is a true testament to the love and support of those I couldn’t give anything to.
Thanking them sincerely is my goal, not shading anyone and once again, thank you for seeing my movie.”
A few hours ago, Toyin Abraham made a lengthy appreciation note on her verified Instagram page, thanking her fans for wholeheartedly supporting her new project.
The announcement roused the hope of her supporters, who believed she could reach the one billion landmark with her release.
In the post, Abraham subtly shaded those who entice their fans with gifts at the cinema. Although she did not mention names, actresses Funke Akindele and Mercy Aigbe have been doing so since their films started screening.
