Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, has called on her fan base, known as “Toyin Titans,” to stop attacking her former protégé, Pelumi Olawuni, popularly called Abike Shugaa, following their ongoing public disagreement.
Speaking in a Snapchat video on Monday, Abraham sought forgiveness and encouraged supporters to move beyond the ongoing controversy that continues to attract online interest.’
According to her, anger is a typical human feeling but urged moderation, emphasising that individuals should not allow the matter to intensify.
“Please, to everybody, it’s okay. Please forgive her. “There is no one who cannot get angry. Even Jesus was angry… let everything slide.
“This is a new week. Toyin Titans, no distractions, please,” she said.

Speaking further, the actress noted that future professional commitments, such as multiple YouTube film launches and a significant project set for December.
“We have a big task ahead of us. We have a lot of YouTube movies coming, and we have a bigger task ahead of us in December,” she said.
Abraham discussed previous controversies, including the criticism she received in 2023 and 2024 following her public endorsement of President Bola Tinubu.
She stated that during that time, critics focused on her significantly.
“For those asking why I didn’t spill the tea in 2023 and 2024… they were bashing me that period, they wanted to kill me,” she said.
She observed that her interactions with Abike and recent insights had changed her perspective on relationships and boundaries.
She stated that she had gained insight and that Abike had gained hers as well, and encouraged fans to switch the subject
“You said create boundaries, I will create boundaries. You said I should stop helping people, no problem. I have learnt my lesson, her too has learnt hers. Let it slide, let us change the topic,” she added.
Her request came after Abike revealed on Sunday that YouTube sent a privacy-related notice regarding her video concerning the disagreement.
The system highlighted timestamps due to possible privacy issues and provided her with the option to modify or delete the content prior to additional evaluation. No penalty or strike has been imposed.
Abike replied with sarcasm, claiming that critics coordinated to flood the video with reports.
The fallout became known when Abike shared a comprehensive video last Friday, which now has over 100,000 views, detailing their relationship from mentorship to its collapse.
The video featured claims of manipulation, treachery, and intimidation, which Abraham has refuted.
Although Abike maintained she was sharing her perspective after many years of silence, Abraham has rejected a detailed counterargument and stated she will not participate in public arguments
