The recent gossip saga involving Nollywood actress Ekene Umenwa has taken a new turn, with several industry colleagues seemingly taking sides. A list of Actors has emerged, who, due to their public support for Destiny Etiko and criticism of Ekene Umenwa, are unlikely to collaborate with her in the near future.
The Actors in question include Etinosa Idemudia, Queen Wokoma, Phyna, Evan Okoro, Queen Enebechi, Somto Eze, Uche Ogbodo, Benson Okonkwo, Sarah Martins, Lizzy Gold, Nons Miraj, Ruby Ojiakor, Queen Nwokoye, Kie Kie, and JoJo of Lele. These individuals have been spotted dropping comments of encouragement on Destiny Etiko’s social media posts, with some even publicly blasting Ekene Umenwa for dragging Destiny Etiko’s name into the gossip.
The public display of support for Destiny Etiko and criticism of Ekene Umenwa suggests a clear divide within the Nollywood community. Given the nature of the entertainment industry, where collaborations and relationships are key to success, it may be challenging for Ekene Umenwa to work with these 15 actresses in the future.
While some may see this as a temporary rift, others believe it could have long-term implications for Ekene Umenwa’s career. “In Nollywood, relationships matter,” said a industry insider. “If you’ve got a group of actresses who are publicly supporting one person and criticizing another, it’s going to be hard to get them to work together on projects.”
Ekene Umenwa has not publicly commented on the situation, and it’s unclear how she plans to navigate this challenging period. However, with several prominent actresses seemingly at odds with her, it remains to be seen how this will affect her future projects and collaborations.
The gossip saga has highlighted the complexities of relationships within Nollywood and the potential consequences of public feuds. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Ekene Umenwa and her colleagues move forward from this point.
For now, fans are left to speculate about the future of these relationships and how they will impact the Nollywood landscape. One thing is clear: the industry is watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
