Nollywood veteran Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has addressed rumors of a feud with fellow actress Genevieve Nnaji, describing the speculations as largely exaggerated and fueled by fans rather than any real conflict.
In a recent statement, Omotola revealed that the so-called quarrel never truly existed, saying, “Na the fans start the quarrel before we know say we dey quarrel.” She explained that while social media and public discussions often blow small misunderstandings out of proportion, she and Genevieve have maintained a professional and cordial relationship behind the scenes.
Omotola emphasized that the Nigerian entertainment industry thrives on collaboration, mutual respect, and camaraderie among its top actors, and she sees no reason for personal rivalries to overshadow the work they do. She also noted that rumors of conflicts between celebrities are often more reflective of fan dynamics and online speculation than reality.
The actress urged fans to be more discerning when reading into stories and to celebrate the achievements of Nollywood stars rather than pit them against one another. Omotola’s comments come as a reminder that not every trending headline reflects the truth, and that long-standing friendships and professional respect often remain intact despite public speculation.
Her remarks have been widely appreciated by fans who view her response as a mature and balanced approach to handling celebrity rumors, highlighting the importance of clarity and perspective in the age of social media gossip.
