Toyin Abraham, the popular Nollywood actress, has reacted after a fashion designer called her out on social media.
A designer identified as @stitchesbyandra had earlier accused Toyin Abraham, Annie Idibia and Gabriel Anthony of owing her a debt worth millions for the past 1 year and 2 months.
The designer, in a post via her Instagram stories, wrote: “@toyin_abraham @annieidibial @gabrielanthonys, my patient is running out already. 1 year and 2 months. How can you be with someone’s millions and feel so reluctant?”
Reacting to the callout, Toyin, in an Instagram post on Friday night, denied the allegation.
“Hello everyone, I want to address the recent allegations about an unpaid debt to a fashion designer. The situation has been completely misunderstood. During the production of Malaika, there was a runway scene, and we needed dresses. We contacted a couple of designers, including Tiannah, to provide the dresses.
“Additionally, Gabriel, who was part of the team, mentioned that a friend of his also wanted to contribute some dresses, and she did. I even bought a hairpiece from her, for which I paid in full. As for the dresses she provided, they were borrowed for the shoot, and once we finished using them, I handed them back to Gabriel, who brought them to us.
“Upon seeing the online allegations online, I called Gabriel immediately for clarification. Gabriel confirmed that he informed the designer that the dresses had already been returned to him and subsequently borrowed by someone else. Therefore, it is no longer my responsibility. I hope this clears the confusion.”
