Nollywood drama alert in December 2025! Mercy Aigbe just went nuclear on Toyin Abraham, calling her "Oversabi Aunty" and threatening "fight is about to start" after being snubbed from Toyin's 'Alakada Reloaded' premiere invite. From birthday love to beef—how did it sour so fast? Get the full explosive gist and clapbacks below! 🔥
The beef boiled over on December 10, 2025, when Mercy Aigbe took to her Instagram story to drag Toyin Abraham for excluding her from the grand premiere of 'Alakada Reloaded' this weekend. Instead of traditional invites, Toyin opted for handing out foodstuffs—a quirky move that Mercy saw as a deliberate shade. "So fight is about to start between me and Oversabi Aunty @toyin_abraham and nobody should beg me. No one should come and say, 'Shebi, she is your sister!' Toyin! Toyin! Toyin! How many times did I call you!? Do the needful. You have my location address," Mercy fumed, tagging Toyin directly and warning of an impending showdown. The post, viewed 500K+ times in hours, reignited their June feud when Toyin slammed Mercy's overdress at a rival premiere, saying "Don't come and outdress me at mine." Mercy clapped back then: "I'll slay harder!"—proving the sisterhood was always fragile.
Toyin, unfazed, hit back swiftly on her IG: "Aunty Mercy, you said you are not in Lagos. Oya sorry now. I love you." The sassy "sorry" with "I love you" tacked on turned the exchange into peak Nollywood shade—playful yet pointed, leaving fans picking sides. This comes hot on Mercy's recent gush over Toyin's 45th birthday, calling her "sister from another mother" and "oversabi aunty" in affection. But rewind to May, when Toyin hyped Mercy's AMVCA Best Supporting Actress win ("You killed it!"), and Mercy praised Toyin's 'Alakada Bad and Boujee' as Nollywood's fifth highest-grosser ("Just the beginning!"). Their bond seemed solid—Toyin even celebrated Mercy's Trailblazer award. Yet, the premiere snub (despite Mercy's Lagos location) feels personal, especially with Toyin's foodstuff "invites" adding insult: "If e sweet you, come chop jollof," fans joked on X.
Social media is ablaze with 2K+ likes on Kemi Filani's report and Mercy's story, trending #MercyVsToyinBeef. Fans are divided: @NollywoodTea (1K retweets) called it "Oversabi aunty karma," while @ToyinStans countered: "Mercy too dramatic—Toyin said sorry with love!" The drama highlights Nollywood's competitive underbelly: From overdress jabs to invite exclusions, even "sisters" compete for spotlight. With 'Alakada Reloaded' premiering this weekend (Toyin's record-breaker sequel), expect red carpet tension or makeup hugs. Broader, it's a mirror to Naija women's hustle—supportive yet savage. Mercy hinted at more: "Nobody beg me"—is this the start of a full feud? X sleuths dug up old clips of Toyin warning Mercy not to "outshine," proving the shade runs deep. For December holidays, this is the tea we needed—petty, passionate, and perfectly timed. As Mercy slays AMVCA looks and Toyin drops box office bombs, who's winning the long game?
