Nigerian actor and producer, Ibrahim Yekini, popularly known as Itele, has called out his female colleague for spreading rumors about him.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, Itele revealed that he had become aware of some gossip about him, which appeared to be coming from a particular colleague.
The movie star expressed his confusion, emphasizing that he had never done anything to upset her.
He pointed out that they work in different areas of the industry and that he has put in a lot of hard work to reach his current position.
The actor urged the actress to stop the negative comments, explaining that they are both unnecessary and hurtful.
He added that trying to create rifts between people who care about each other reflects more on the gossiper’s insecurities than on the truth of those being talked about.
“Dear female colleague,
“I want to address something that’s been bothering me. I’ve noticed some gossip about me, and it seems to be coming from you. I don’t understand why this is happening, as I have never done anything to offend you. We work in different roles, and I worked so hard to be here, Anu mi Mori gba.
“I kindly ask that you stop these negative talks, as they are unnecessary and hurtful! Thank you for understanding”.
“Speeding gossip to create division between people who love each other reveals more about their own insecurities than the truth of those they speak about. True strength lies in building bridges, not burning them!” he wrote.
