Naija owanbe parties are known for turning up the vibes, but at the recent “Owanbe Thieves” movie premiere, it wasn’t the music or fashion that stole the show; it was the live Nollywood face-off between Eniola Badmus and Laide Bakare.

And let’s just say… it was not acting.

Everything seemed normal at first—celebs in their best asoebi, lights, cameras, the whole glam. Then boom! Things went south on the dance floor.

Laide Bakare was trying to film herself dancing with Eniola Badmus in the background. But Eniola was not having it. In a now-viral video, she snapped:

“Must I be in your video? Don’t film us together, we are not friends.”

Yup. She said it out loud. At a public event. On camera. ?

Laide didn’t stay quiet either. In Yoruba, she fired back with:

“Shey ori e pe? Kilode? Se o ya werey?”
(Translation: Are you okay? What type of embarrassment is this? Are you mad?)

She even gave Eniola a small shove to cue the chaos.

Let’s be real: Nollywood beef isn’t new. But this wasn’t online shade or coded subtweets, this was real-time, real-life embarrassment. At a premiere. On camera. In front of the entire industry.

Fans and celebs have since taken sides:

• Some say Eniola overreacted, and could’ve just moved out of the frame.

• Others say Laide was wrong for trying to film someone who didn’t want to be on camera.

Either way, it’s clear: whatever beef these two have? It’s been simmering.
