The long-standing feud between Nollywood actresses Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo has taken a new turn, igniting fresh drama across social media platforms.
The latest clash began after Iyabo’s daughter, Priscilla Ojo, publicly revealed that she is expecting her first child with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux. Priscilla shared the joyful news on Instagram, posting a series of elegant maternity photos that quickly went viral and drew widespread congratulations from fans and celebrities alike.
However, one notable figure remained silent, Lizzy Anjorin. Her decision not to publicly congratulate Priscilla sparked outrage online, with many social media users accusing her of harbouring jealousy and bitterness. The backlash was swift and intense, especially given the long history of animosity between the two actresses.
In response, Lizzy Anjorin took to Instagram with a fiery video, unleashing a barrage of insults and accusations directed at Iyabo Ojo and her daughter. In the now-viral video, Lizzy did not hold back, making shocking statements that left viewers stunned.
“If she gives birth to 20 children, they will all perish,” she said, referring to Priscilla. “Iyabo is a disgraceful human being.”
The outburst triggered an immediate wave of criticism, with many calling out Lizzy for her harsh words and personal attacks. Critics labelled her comments as insensitive and dangerous, especially considering they were directed at a young woman celebrating a milestone moment in her life.
In the same video, Lizzy also addressed the online trolls who questioned her silence. She accused them of hypocrisy, claiming that people were quick to judge her for not celebrating Priscilla’s pregnancy despite the past issues she had with Iyabo.
“I don’t have to congratulate someone I don’t talk to,” Lizzy said. “People who were against me yesterday suddenly want me to act like we’re friends.”
But the drama didn’t end there.
Iyabo Ojo reacts to Lizzy’s statement
Iyabo Ojo soon fired back with a response of her own. While she maintained a more composed tone, she did not shy away from addressing the seriousness of Lizzy’s comments. In an Instagram post, Iyabo warned that she would no longer tolerate any form of verbal abuse or threats, especially when her children are involved.
“I’m a peaceful person, but I will not stay silent when my child is dragged into senseless fights,” Iyabo wrote. “If anything happens to me or my children, hold Lizzy responsible.”
Iyabo also brought up past instances where Lizzy had allegedly defamed her, insisting that there is a clear pattern of targeted harassment. She said she was tired of being bullied online and hinted that legal action might be considered if the attacks continued.
Fans of both actresses have since taken sides, turning social media into a battleground of opinions. While some defend Lizzy, saying she had every right to stay silent about Priscilla’s news, others argue that her reaction was extreme and deeply inappropriate.
This latest dispute is only one chapter in a long-running rivalry between the two Nollywood stars, who have clashed multiple times over the years.
Their feud has often played out in public, with both women accusing each other of lies, betrayal, and character assassination.
Despite the growing calls for reconciliation from fans and industry colleagues, neither side appears ready to back down. The situation has reignited debates around celebrity behaviour, online bullying, and the responsibility public figures have when engaging with each other on social media.
As it stands, Lizzy Anjorin has not issued an apology, nor has she removed the video. Iyabo Ojo, on the other hand, continues to receive support from fans and fellow actors who praise her for standing up for her daughter.
With emotions still high and no signs of peace in sight, this latest flare-up serves as another reminder of how quickly personal grudges can escalate into public battles, especially in the age of social media.
