So, it looks like the simmering tension between Nollywood stars Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo has flared back up, and this time, it’s all about Iyabo’s daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and her pregnancy announcement. Honestly, it’s the kind of celebrity spat that makes you think—why does all the drama always find a way to boil over publicly?
The Spark: A Missed Congratulations
Here’s what went down: Priscilla Ojo, Iyabo’s daughter, shared the joyful news that she’s expecting her first child with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux. She posted some maternity pictures on Instagram, which should have been a happy moment. But then, Lizzy Anjorin didn’t publicly congratulate Priscilla, and well—now the accusations started flying. People called Lizzy bitter and jealous, and the online crowd got quick to judge.
What I find interesting here is that Lizzy felt cornered and decided to respond. But instead of smoothing things over, she went all out with a video rant that was as harsh as it was personal. She accused trolls of hypocrisy—saying they were quick to bash her for not celebrating Priscilla’s pregnancy because of the drama that’s already been brewing between her and Iyabo Ojo. And then, she threw in some very strong words, even wishing ill upon Iyabo, which… yeah, that’s pretty heavy.

The Responses and the Fallout
Iyabo Ojo didn’t stay silent either. She posted her own message, sounding calm at first and expressing a wish for peace, which might have been genuine or maybe a bit of a public relations move—hard to tell sometimes. But she made it clear she wouldn’t stand for verbal abuse, especially when it involved her daughter. Iyabo reminded everyone of previous times when Lizzy allegedly defamed her and issued a firm warning that if anything happened to her or her kids, Lizzy would be held responsible.
Reading this, it’s easy to feel like you’re watching a soap opera unravel in real time. I mean, these kinds of back-and-forths seem a bit messy, don’t they? No one really comes out looking clean, and it’s hard not to wonder why people feel compelled to air their dirty laundry so publicly. But then again, maybe that’s part of what keeps the fans hooked—this very unpredictability.
A Closer Look at Celebrity Feuds
I guess, what’s curious here is how public and personal these disputes get. This isn’t just a matter of two people not talking anymore; it’s deeply entangled with family, reputation, and yes, social media outlets where everyone can witness and join in. Lizzy’s comments were deeply harsh and arguably uncalled for, but they also reveal just how raw feelings run beneath the surface. Iyabo’s response, balancing a call for peace with a warning, shows how complicated these relationships can be.
I probably shouldn’t be too surprised—celebrity life is often a high-pressure environment filled with competition and scrutiny. But still, it makes you wonder if any of this could have been handled differently. Maybe a private conversation could have saved a lot of public embarrassment? Or perhaps the history between them made that impossible. It’s tricky.

What I find somewhat fascinating—though a bit sad—is how these women, who presumably have a lot in common and belong to the same industry, seem to be caught in a cycle of conflict that just feeds itself. It’s like no one really wins, even if one side gains public sympathy temporarily. It’s a reminder that in the world of fame, personal and professional lines can get fuzzy and messy.
Honestly, it’s one of those stories where you can’t help but be a little skeptical about the truth behind the scenes. There’s always more than what we see on the surface. But, for now, this clash between Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo is heating up the Nollywood grapevine once again—only time will tell how it will end or if it will simply simmer down until the next issue arises.
