IYABO OJO, LIZZY ANJORIN CLASH 

Last week, the Nollywood actresses engaged in a heated war of words on social media. 

The drama started after Anjorin alleged that Iyabo was the individual behind a well-known yet shadowy blog. 

She also claimed Iyabo is aware of the circumstances surrounding the death of Mohbad, the singer.

In her reaction, Iyabo dared Anjorin to call her out directly rather than throw thinly veiled digs at her.

Anjorin, however, fired back at Iyabo, saying her colleague can not use police or court to threaten her.

OLADIPS SHARES ‘PROOF OF LIFE’ VIDEO SURFACES

Suspicions arose recently when Wavy, a longtime friend of Oladips, posted a video with the rapper claiming “he is alive”.

He further alleged that the rapper had faked his death and would return online if his album reached the top of the music charts.

The caption read, “orisa bi iya osi, proof of life”.
