Just when it looked like the war between Lizzy Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo was finally cooling off, the actress and businesswoman found herself in yet another public fight and this time, with Nkechi Blessing Sunday. What began as a small spark of shade on social media has erupted into one of the most vicious Nollywood feuds of the year.
The Shadow of Iyabo Ojo
For years, Lizzy Anjorin’s name and Iyabo Ojo’s seemed permanently tied together in controversy. Their bad blood stretched back to 2020, spilling into every possible corner of the internet from Instagram Lives to YouTube rants, and late-night clapbacks.
The feud became so intense that in late 2023, Iyabo reportedly sued Lizzy for ₦1 billion over defamation. Lizzy later boasted that the case had been dismissed, but Iyabo clarified that the issue was actually referred to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). It wasn’t a legal win, but rather a peace negotiation.
But the peace didn’t last. Lizzy continued to make veiled references to Iyabo online, accusing her of envy and manipulation. Iyabo, in turn, accused Lizzy of dragging her children’s names into fetish talk and taking the conflict to spiritual levels.
Then, by mid-2025, there came silence on the part of Iyabo, who seems focused on her new found grandma role. Lizzy however did not stop taking shots at Iyabo at every given opportunity. It felt like things would go quiet overtime but from the looks of things, Lizzy has found a new target. Safe to say, she may have even met her match.
New Rival, Sharper Blows
The tension between Lizzy Anjorin and Nkechi Blessing Sunday isn’t new, it’s a revival of an old fire that never truly went out.
Their first public clash dates back to early 2025. Lizzy accused Nkechi of insulting her and mocking her over a Lagos market theft allegation that had trailed Lizzy for months. Nkechi had shared a post many interpreted as subtle shade, and Lizzy fired back with venom, claiming that Nkechi and her late mother were “not innocent” people.
“You’ve been insulting me since 2019,” Lizzy said in one of her Instagram Lives, warning that she was “ready to expose” Nkechi’s background and “real father.”
The feud got nasty but eventually faded. Both women went quiet, at least publicly. The noise died down, attention drifted elsewhere, and fans assumed the rivalry had passed.
But this October, the drama roared back to life in a louder, harsher, and more personal way than ever before.
It started with a viral video of Lizzy, in which she launched a barrage of insults so cruel that even seasoned netizens were left stunned. She called out Nkechi directly:
“Nkechi Blessing, you’ll kpai. You that don’t have money to do POP. Your mother kpai in a hotel and it was preek that kpaid her. You started doing OS as a little girl in Fagba.”
In one breath, Lizzy managed to curse her colleague, insult her late mother, and accuse her of early prostitution. It was the kind of statement that drew collective gasps online. Within hours, clips of the video were everywhere on X, Instagram, TikTok, and entertainment blogs.
The backlash came fast. Thousands condemned Lizzy for crossing sacred lines, mocking a dead parent and using death as an insult. Others argued that this was simply “Lizzy being Lizzy,” known for saying what others wouldn’t.
Nkechi Blessing didn’t hold back either. In a fiery Instagram post on Wednesday morning October 22, she dared Lizzy to “pick a location” for a face-to-face fight. She wrote in a mixture of Yoruba, Pidgin and English:
“Lizzy Anjorin…Oni Se Orire.Ashiere Eda…if dem born your father well pick location… I go beat you like small pikin.. who want follow mad woman do internet back and forth? Konira gba fun Iwo Ati Doll baby to gbe si ile To pe ni Oko…..Ole Idumota…cus I decide to stop online drama? I go drag you reach your village…”
At the heart of it, though, was a deeper pattern. Lizzy seems unable to exist outside of conflict. The moment one feud fades, another rises. Nkechi, on the other hand, refuses to play victim. She has chosen to hit every jab with a louder clap back.
Conclusion: Drama, But At What Cost?
It’s easy to dismiss this saga as “just another Nollywood drama.” After all, public feuds have always been part of celebrity culture. But this one feels different. It’s darker, heavier, and painfully personal.
Lizzy’s choice of words has been frowned upon by many stating that cursing someone with death or mocking their dead parent, is going overboard. In Yoruba culture, speaking ill of the dead isn’t just disrespectful, it’s a spiritual offense.
For Nkechi Blessing, the cost is visibility has turned into vulnerability. She fighting to protect her image and her mother’s memory by hurling back insults does not seem like an approach that’ll work on Lizzy.
Lizzy Anjorin, once known for her acting career and fashion brand, is increasingly seen through the lens of conflict. Her name trends more for battles than for her art.
Beyond the two women, there’s a larger cultural toll. Netizens have turned conflict into currency. The more personal the insult, the more viral the clip. The deeper the wound, the louder the engagement. Somewhere along the line, empathy got replaced by entertainment value.
