How Iyabo Ojo and Toyin Lawani's friendship broke down
The two had been close associates before tensions surfaced around 2022, with much of the drama playing out publicly during the Real Housewives of Lagos reality show.
Iyabo Ojo questioned Toyin's alleged influence over Laura Ikeji during a heated exchange and referred to her using the Yoruba term "gbeborun," meaning gossip.
Toyin Lawani, for her part, openly expressed affection for Laura Ikeji, who is widely regarded as Iyabo Ojo's arch-enemy.
The pair subsequently unfollowed each other on Instagram and appeared to cut ties entirely.
Further confirmation of the rift came when Toyin Lawani notably stayed silent on Iyabo Ojo's daughter Priscilla's achievements, having previously been among the first to celebrate the family's milestones.
A few months later, however, they re-followed each other on social media, hinting at a possible thaw.
