Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has intensified her online spat with colleague Lizzy Anjorin, using Instagram to warn her rival to stop dragging her family into the fight.

The feud — which began after Lizzy mocked Nkechi’s crashed POP — saw Nkechi tell Lizzy she’s not afraid but is deliberately avoiding confrontation because of her anger issues and fear of ending up behind bars. “Avoiding drama doesn’t mean I’m scared of you. I have anger issues & I’m trying to avoid jail,” she wrote on Instagram.

Nkechi issued a stinging warning about any further mention of her late mother’s name: “Open letter to ole Idumota, that my mother name wey you Dey mention go kpai you and your generation…Broad daylight witch @lizzyanjorin_originallawal.” She added, “If I ever hear my late's mum's name in your mouth again, I will beat you blue black.”

She also reminded Lizzy of a previous challenge to settle things in person, promising to “beat her like a child” if a location was agreed. The drama continues to play out online as fans and followers trade reactions.
