Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, took to Instagram about an hour ago to apologized to her colleague Mercy Johnson who she blasted back in 2013, for resuming to acting 4 months after giving birth to her first child, Purity, in US.
You recall that back in 2013, after Mercy delivered her baby Purity in US, she had come back to Nigeria 4 months later to continue with her acting career.
Tonto Dikeh (who at that time had no chill) called Mercy all sort of names, claiming Mercy's husband pushed her immediately into acting because they were broke.
Tonto had tweeted back then:
"@TONTOLET: Wen n if I give birth, God plz provide mii wit a husband dat can provide 4uz, Not 1 dat wld send mii bck to actin 2monthz after I born 2Huzzle"
Mercy in a reply later on during an interview when asked how she felt when she heard that Tonto talked mean about her, said:
'It was a friend who called to tell me a colleague in Nollywood is questioning my decision to go back to acting soon. I only asked her a question, I said: 'Did the actress mention my name?' she said no. But my fans are insinuating that she was talking about me, so they fired back at her with insult and all.
I am a moving train by the special grace of God in heaven. I will continue to do good for myself and my fans who have stood by me all these years. I have no beef with nobody. I am a cool person and i ahte and fear troubles. I always pray for those that wish for my downfall.''
Read the apology Tonto just made to Mercy:
