Nollywood star Femi Adebayo has stepped up to defend his fellow actress Tonto Dikeh after she faced criticism from fans for reviewing his movie.
Tonto Dikeh, who recently made headlines by addressing NDLEA (Nigeria's anti-drug agency), shared her thoughts on the movie "Jagun Jagun." In a surprising revelation, she mentioned that it had been more than 10 or 12 years since she last watched a Nigerian film. Her review of "Jagun Jagun" left her deeply moved and astonished.
Expressing her sentiments, Tonto Dikeh hailed "Jagun Jagun" as an exceptional cinematic creation, commending both the dedicated crew and the talented cast for their remarkable contributions. She explicitly stated that she had no personal connections with anyone involved in the movie's making. Her decision to watch the movie was influenced solely by recommendations from her international friends.
In her own words, Tonto Dikeh shared her thoughts, saying:
"This is my review for My very first watched Nigerian movie in over 10/12 years.
I was shook. I think this is an amazing movie. Don’t personally know anyone in this movie from production to crew. But I watched it on popular demand via my international friends and I must say I AM FLABBERGASTED!!! Weldone to the producers, crew, and cast!!."
However, Tonto Dikeh's candid admission of not having watched Nigerian films for an extended period and her unfamiliarity with the "Jagun Jagun" cast led to a wave of criticism directed at the actress.
Amidst the backlash, Femi Adebayo, a prominent figure in Nollywood, has taken a stand in support of Tonto Dikeh. Adebayo's gesture underscores the idea that personal preferences in movie-watching can differ widely and should be respected.
This incident serves as a reminder of the diversity of perspectives within the entertainment world. Femi Adebayo's act of solidarity highlights the importance of understanding and unity within the Nollywood community.
