The heated exchange between Nollywood stars Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus at the Owambe Thieves movie premiere has taken a dramatic turn, as popular blogger Cutie Juls sheds light on the real reason behind the public outburst.
Earlier, social media was set ablaze with a viral video showing Laide Bakare confronting Eniola Badmus at the star-studded event hosted by actress Eniola Ajao. While the cause of the confrontation was initially unclear, fresh revelations have added new fuel to the fire.
According to eyewitnesses who spoke to Cutie Juls, the tension ignited the moment Eniola Badmus arrived at the premiere. Laide Bakare reportedly hurled verbal abuse at her colleague, escalating the situation quickly. Although Eniola initially remained calm, things took a shocking turn when Laide allegedly physically assaulted both Eniola and one of her security operatives.
Sources claim Laide’s fury is rooted in a past conflict. In their earlier beef, which went public in 2024, Eniola Badmus reportedly called Laide “barren”, a deeply hurtful insult that has clearly left lasting wounds.

The shocking incident has stirred intense reactions from fans and industry insiders, with many expressing disappointment over the public fallout between two prominent figures in Nollywood.
