When you think of Tonto Dikeh these days, what comes to mind won’t be her movies, but the number of controversies she has been involved in.
In a recent chat with PlusTV Africa, the light skinned actress noted that she is one of the most talked about actresses in Nigeria.
Dikeh also spoke about the intense rivalry in Nollywood, adding that it is because actors in the Nigerian movie industry compete for the same goal.
“We are all fighting for the same thing. It’s a circle, we share the same men, the same clothes, the same movies, the same things, so it’s a circle… Why would you want to be friends with someone who wants to take your life? ”Tonto said.
When asked about the controversies she has been involved in, Tonto said: “I am still one of the most talked about. The controversy kept me at that stage where I make money from people. I don’t look for trouble, so when you come at me, especially in a negative way, sometimes it is just so frustrating,” she said.
The single mother of one also expressed her displeasure over the quality of movies released in Nollywood.
“There is no adrenaline rush when you’re watching Nigerian movies,” she said.
