Speaking about their past relationship, Laide said she regularly gave Eniola money when she needed financial assistance.
“I used to give Eniola Badmus money very well when she was ugly and fat. I used to help her with money when nobody wanted to use her in their movies cos of her stature,” she said.
The comments followed Laide’s criticism of Eniola after the latter’s interview with content creator Isbae U.
Laide reportedly accused Eniola of repeatedly damaging her reputation in public and described her former colleague as ungrateful.
She also took a swipe at Eniola in a subsequent post, saying she did not need surgery and was too big to be brought down by her.
The exchange has placed their former friendship under renewed scrutiny, particularly as Laide continues to recount what she says she did for Eniola.
