Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has sparked a public drama with her colleague Frederick Leonard after he blocked her on Instagram. The situation escalated when Etinosa made a light-hearted comment on Frederick’s post, which she claims was intended as a joke. In the video, Frederick and his crew were seen singing and dancing to unwind after a long day of filming. Etinosa humorously pointed out the irony that, despite his motivation videos, Frederick allegedly mistreats crew members on other sets.
However, Frederick did not take kindly to her comment and blocked her almost immediately. Etinosa, clearly upset, took to Instagram to vent her frustrations. She insisted her comment was not meant to offend but to highlight what she believes is an important issue.
In her post, Etinosa angrily expressed, “Thunder fire you” and criticized Frederick for blocking her instead of addressing the issue directly, like discussing it privately. She accused him of treating crew members poorly, claiming that many are reluctant to work with him because of his behavior. She also accused him of making videos that painted him as a good person while masking his true actions.
Etinosa continued to call out Frederick, saying, “You have blocked your sister too. You will keep blocking, my dear,” implying that he is avoiding facing the truth.
Later, she posted an apology, acknowledging that her style of joking might not be for everyone, but she reiterated that her words came from a place of truth. In her final words, she expressed regret, saying, “This thing pains me. I no go lie.”
The feud has brought attention to the dynamics of Nollywood sets and how actors treat their crew members, with Etinosa using her platform to advocate for better treatment of those behind the scenes.
