In her own words, Abraham wrote:
"Throwback to when TikTok collaborated with OVERSABI AUNTY!. It was such a beautiful experience, and I'm looking forward to more amazing collaborations as we gear up for BESTIE. More magic, more creativity, and bigger moments ahead!"

Not everyone was ready to condemn the actress, though. @mauyon_doz defended her post, writing:
"I see some comments saying she doesn't need to post about this collaboration. Why not? Especially when some of the same people are always quick to accuse her of copying others. Now that she has done this same thing before..she should keep quiet about it? Make it make sense. She has every right to remind you lots that she's done it before una start una wahala."
