Nigerian actress Laide Bakare has explained what Eniola Badmus did that led to their recent fight at the Owambe Thieves premiere.
On April 13, 2025, many celebrities gathered at Circle Mall in Lagos for the premiere of Eniola Ajao’s Owambe Thieves movie. However, drama broke out between Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus at the event, and it almost led to blows.
In a new development, Laide Bakare, who had been throwing shade at Eniola Badmus on social media, finally went live on her Instagram page to give a detailed explanation of what went down.

In one of the snippets that went viral from Bakare’s IG live, the actress claimed that Eniola Badmus looks horrible without clothes on, and it’s probably why the former plus-sized movie star has issues with her.
Bakare claimed that Badmus might have problems with her because she did not do surgery and she looks good in real life without makeup. Bakare also called Eniola Badmus a fake person who over-edits her photos and did cosmetic surgery for public validation.
She said:
“Eniola your nakedness is horrible, I figured out that is one of your problems with me. I didn’t do no surgery, as I am, I’m not wearing makeup, anybody that sees me in real life will definitely want to touch me, I am that clean. Even Funke Akindele that is moving around with her also knows her character but decided to leave her because she’s mature.”
Speaking further, Laide Bakare said she gave Eniola Badmus her first big role in Nollywood around 2002 and that she was very fat and ugly at the time.
“When I casted you for that role, Eniola you were ugly and fat, very obese. You didn’t even have the charisma for the acting at the time”, Bakare said.

Laide Bakare shares what Eniola Badmus did to her
According to Laide Bakare, she was at the Owambe Thieves premiere when Eniola Badmus kept coming to her space and announcing loudly that she did not want to be recorded with her because they were not friends.
Bakare accused Badmus of bullying her, especially after she called her an animal in her DM two years ago, and she never reacted. She said:
“Why would you come to my space, you knew that I was not coming for you, in case people don’t know, I am a shy person. Yesterday, I got to the party very late, I didn’t do any red carpet because I just wanted to honour that lady, you just kept coming to my space, I don’t know why and you kept saying ‘I am not your friend’, why are you telling the whole world? Why are you saying it to the camera that I should not be recorded with you that you’re not my friend? It was getting too embarrassing. With everything you have done, all the bullying, did I ever reply you? When you came to my DM to call me an animal did I ever post it? And that’s almost two years now. Stop bullying because you feel I will not respond.”
