Tonto Dikeh, Bobrisky and Iyabo Ojo, Toyin Lawani renew friendships
Former celebrity friends Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky, and Iyabo Ojo and Toyin Lawani, have publicly signalled that they have moved beyond earlier disagreements. The renewed relationships followed a birthday tribute and gift in one case, and a social-media reunion message in the other, according to Punch’s account of the developments.
Two pairs of Nigerian celebrities who previously experienced public fallouts have recently signalled that their friendships have been renewed, according to Punch. Actress Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky resumed warm public exchanges after years of estrangement. Dikeh marked Bobrisky’s birthday with an emotional tribute and a N2m gift, describing the social media personality as her “brother” and “anchor”.
She also shared a screenshot of the transfer. Bobrisky responded by appreciating Dikeh and acknowledging their renewed friendship. Their relationship had deteriorated in 2020 after Dikeh unfollowed him following a video involving Lady Golfer, identified in the report as a former friend of the actress.
The disagreement later became more public, with both sides making claims about the relationship. Bobrisky also shared private conversations involving Dikeh. Their recent messages, however, suggest the pair has put the earlier dispute behind them.
Actress Iyabo Ojo and fashion designer Toyin Lawani have also reconnected after years apart. Ojo posted photographs of herself and Lawani on Instagram on September 23, alongside a message saying that real friendships were not perfect but genuine. She added that, although the two had spent time apart, real friendship could find its way back.
Lawani replied warmly to the post. The pair had previously been close, but their relationship became strained during their time on The Real Housewives of Lagos. The report links the tension to Ojo’s relationship with Laura Ikeji and Lawani’s support for Ikeji, while Ojo also accused Lawani of gossiping about her.
The women eventually unfollowed each other. Their reunions have since attracted attention from fans who followed the earlier disputes.
