In Nollywood, omission is often louder than inclusion, and many quickly interpreted her silence as shade.

Reacting, Lizzy Gold dismissed the claims, insisting there’s no room for “hatred and bitterness” in her corner.

She revealed that Adanma Luke personally called her to inform her that she and May Edochie were also recognised for the ambassadorship deal.

In her words:

“Honestly, there’s no space for hatred and bitterness over here. Adanma Luke just called me 10 minutes ago, saying that, alongside Destiny, May Yul Edochie and Adanma Luke were also recognised for the ambassadorship deal.
"I also unknowingly only congratulated Destiny in my last post. Congratulations, Adanma Luke and May Yul Edochie, on your new sponsorship deals. I just edited the post.”

True to her word, Lizzy updated her Instagram post to include the missing names, proving that sometimes mistakes are just that, mistakes. As the saying goes, to err is human, to edit divine.

According to Lizzy, she witnessed a turnaround in her career after Yul directed her in a movie. She revealed that the movie gained attention, and people began to recognise her talent.

From then on, opportunities increased, and her value in the industry grew.

She emphasised that she remained grateful for his support and will always appreciate the role he played in her growth.

Lizzy also stated that she cannot cut off Yul because of his marital issues, because it is none of her business.

"People don't know why I am close to Yul, why I don't joke with him; it is because God used him to shape my destiny. I don't forget where I am coming from, I can't leave my friend because of his marital issues, that is none of my business, my friend is my friend for life" she said.
