Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has publicly challenged fellow actress Lizzy Anjorin to a physical confrontation, saying she would “beat” Anjorin if the latter chooses a location for the proposed fight.
The exchange — which has since circulated widely on social media — marks the latest escalation in a months‑long feud between two prominent Yoruba‑film stars.
The incident unfolded after Nkechi Blessing posted a video message on her social platform in which she addressed Lizzy Anjorin directly, daring her to name a venue and time for the confrontation.
In the clip, Nkechi’s tone was confrontational and decisive, and she invited Anjorin to “pick location” so the matter could be settled publicly.
Lizzy Anjorin, who has been entangled in several public disputes with colleagues and critics in recent years, had not issued an immediate response at the time of reporting.
Fans and industry observers reacted swiftly to the development: while some supported the actresses’ right to defend their reputations, others cautioned against violence and urged both parties to pursue mediation.
Industry stakeholders warned that public spats of this nature risk tarnishing Nollywood’s image and could distract from ongoing professional commitments. A film producer who spoke on condition of anonymity described the episode as “unhelpful” and urged senior industry figures and guilds to step in.
Public reaction on social networks split along predictable lines: trending hashtags alternated between calls for entertainment and demands for calm. Several fellow actors and social‑media personalities urged both parties to resolve their differences off camera and emphasised the potential legal and career fallout of any confirmed physical altercation.
