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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2023\/11\/29\/lizzy-anjorin-refuses-to-back-down-continues-name-calling-despite-iyabo-ojos-n500m-defamation-suit\/\">The feud became so intense that in late 2023, Iyabo reportedly sued Lizzy for \u20a61 billion over defamation<\/a>. 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\u2019t a legal win, but rather a peace negotiation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But the peace didn\u2019t 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\u2019s names into fetish talk and taking the conflict to spiritual levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">New Rival, Sharper Blows<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218881\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/d87d33d6-a8a7-48f2-8406-22f36826b72f-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nkechi Blessing | Lizzy Anjorin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The tension between Lizzy Anjorin and Nkechi Blessing Sunday isn\u2019t new, it\u2019s a revival of an old fire that never truly went out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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 \u201cnot innocent\u201d people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>You\u2019ve been insulting me since 2019<\/em>,\u201d Lizzy said in one of her Instagram Lives, warning that she was \u201c<em>ready to expose<\/em>\u201d Nkechi\u2019s background and <em>\u201creal father<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But this October, the drama roared back to life in a louder, harsher, and more personal way than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cNkechi Blessing, you\u2019ll kpai. You that don\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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 \u201cLizzy being Lizzy,\u201d known for saying what others wouldn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nkechi Blessing didn\u2019t hold back either. In a fiery Instagram post on Wednesday morning October 22, she dared Lizzy to \u201cpick a location\u201d for a face-to-face fight. She wrote in a mixture of Yoruba, Pidgin and English:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cLizzy Anjorin&#8230;Oni Se Orire.Ashiere Eda&#8230;if dem born your father well pick location&#8230; I go beat you like small pikin.. who want follow mad woman do internet back and forth?

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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Conclusion: Drama, But At What Cost?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218886\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218886\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/22d167ea-c45f-4517-9523-aa30cf808a8a-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218886\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nkechi Blessing | Lizzy Anjorin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s easy to dismiss this saga as \u201cjust another Nollywood drama.\u201d After all, public feuds have always been part of celebrity culture. But this one feels different. It\u2019s darker, heavier, and painfully personal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lizzy\u2019s 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\u2019t just disrespectful, it\u2019s a spiritual offense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Nkechi Blessing, the cost is visibility has turned into vulnerability. She fighting to protect her image and her mother\u2019s memory by hurling back insults does not seem like an approach that\u2019ll work on Lizzy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Beyond the two women, there\u2019s a larger cultural toll. Netizens<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>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. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
