Luana explained: "As sexy as that may sound, and it is, it's kind of self-love on steroids.

"There was always a part of me that thought it was weird – so it's nice to have this statement that it's normal.

"It just means I love myself a little bit more, and I'm just happy with myself and how I look.

Actress Iyabo Ojo drags her bestie for throwing subtle shades at her on IG

Posted: 19 Jun 2021 04:30 AM PDT

Two besties are at loggerheads with each other as actress Iyabo Ojo had vehemently warned her best friend, Tosin Abiola, popularly known as Omo Brish not to be manipulative and indirectly throw shades at her on Instagram.

The duo has been friends for years, it seems strange that Iyabo called out Tosin on Instagram.
 
Iyabo mentioned that one of the issues their relationship had was that Tosin was still in close contact with a certain Gbemi who appears to be her former PA, who ruined her business.

She further mentioned that she's not two-faced and it's either her friends are for her or against her.

Here's what she wrote;

''Some people come into your life using you as a step stool to achieve their selfish interest. They jump on your bandwagon, study you and then capitalize on your weakness to eventually destroy you, unfortunately, I ain't one to be destroyed & I don't play victim..
.
Yes my mum had schizophrenia and I took damn good care of her & I love her to pieces, but Tosin for years just because you know about her condition you've constantly & stylishly called me all manners of names implying a deranged personality which I have constantly brought to your attention and warned you against, because I genuinely believe it is you trying to mock my mum. Now that you have decided to finally bring this to the open and play victim, Tosin Abiola be warned, as you have said you respect your two kids….. i will beg you to hold on to that.

As for me, I don't throw shades, if you come for me I will come for you…. for weeks now you have been throwing all kind of shades just because I disagree with your closeness to my former PA/Manager Gbemi, if you call yourself my so called best friend you will not be communicating with a staff I took like a daughter who almost ruined my business, I still have all the evidence….. friendship no be by force o, yes I don't mend broken fence because I'm not two-faced. It's either you are for me or against me……. all this your manipulative tactics you're bringing to social media won't work with me, trying to use your Google study to buy sympathy
 
Tosin you know we know each other well enough. It sure won't end well. I will come for you straight up, I don't care whose ox is gored!
……. I come in peace & I can be very petty….. ijogbon is my middle name …. if you no find my trouble na jeje omo eko mi lo o."
