Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has fired back at socialite and content creator Ogechi Ukonu, popularly known as Caramel Plug, after her apology over an AI photo controversy was publicly rejected.

Anita responded with what many described as a sincere apology, attributing the incident to an AI tool and insisting she would never intentionally get involved in such a situation.
However, Caramel Plug was not convinced. Rather than accepting the explanation, she dismissed it with a sharp remark, telling Anita to make sure her "imaginary AI boy" does better next time, and making clear that she and Anita are not on familiar terms.
That response clearly did not sit well with Anita Joseph.
Taking to Instagram on July 9, the actress clapped back, stating that she does not blame Caramel Plug, but redirected the blame entirely to the studio she said was responsible for the edit. In her words:
Actress Anita Joseph wrote:
"You see the embarrassment you caused me. Ata rom gi chai. Caramel, I no blame you at all, na @ancestral_tech_ai I blame."
