Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has publicly criticized her colleague Mercy Aigbe for what she described as an over-the-top outfit worn to the premiere of a new movie.
Mercy Aigbe had dazzled on the red carpet for the premiere of My Mother Is A Witch, which is scheduled to hit cinemas nationwide on May 23, 2025.
The event drew attention on social media, especially after Aigbe posted photos and videos of her look on Instagram, styling herself as fully prepared for the event with the caption:
“Keep believing in yourself even when no one does!
You are your own greatest project. Keep working on yourself, you’re a masterpiece in progress ❤️
Fully set for the premiere of our great work of art titled MY MOTHER IS A WITCH!

While fans gushed over her stunning appearance, Toyin Abraham took to the comment section to express disapproval, cautioning Aigbe for dressing extravagantly at another person’s premiere.
“For another person’s premiere, you dress like this. June 1st, you will sleep at the entrance of Imax, bet with me,” Abraham wrote, referencing the upcoming premiere of her own movie Iyalode.
Aigbe was quick to fire back, brushing off the comment with a confident promise to turn heads even more at her own premiere.
“Yinmu! Iyalode premiere is my premiere! It’s my movie and ama slay hard! If you like slack! Ko kan mi,” she replied.
Keep believing in yourself even when no one does!
You are your own greatest project. Keep working on yourself, you’re a masterpiece in progress ❤️
