On social media, Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham denied claims that she owes a fashion designer millions of naira for the past few months.
The designer, @stitchesbyandra, accused Abraham, Annie Idibia, and Gabriel Anthony of owing her the money.
Toyin disputed the claims, saying that they were misinterpreted. She called Tiannah among other designers when she needed outfits for a runway sequence during the Malaika production. Another team member, Gabriel, gave some outfits as well, and Abraham bought a hairpiece from her. After being borrowed for the photo session, Gabriel received the dresses back.
Abraham called Gabriel for clarification, and he confirmed that the dresses had been returned to him and subsequently borrowed by someone else.
She said, “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.”
