Tonto Dike Wins Nollywod’s Most Controversial Award
Talking about controversy, one actress who is synonymous to that is the Nollywood star, Tonto Dike who has just been given the Most Controversial Actress of the Year, 2012.
Tonto is a product of the Next Movie Star, since she hit the limelight few years ago, she has never ceased to be at the centre of controversies. The outgone year is not different as Tonto Dike is the most controversial actress who rocked Nollywood in the outgone year.
Her controversial lifestyle became more glaring this year, judging from most of her unbecoming exploits. After the noise generated by her new tattoo last year, Tonto continued with her ‘wild lifestyle’, stepping on people’s toes and damning her critics. She was also alleged to have slept with the boss of Sifax Group, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi for N5 million, causing commotion between Taiwo and Rotimi Ajanaku, good pals, as it was believed that Rotimi got her apartment in Abraham Adesanya for her before the cookies crumbled.
Also is her newly released singles, Hi and Itz Ova, did not help matters even though the singles became two of the most listened and downloaded tracks, with over 500,000 views. Dike, who joined the bandwagon of other actors who succumbed to the moonlighting itch to delve into music, was lampooned and criticised by her fans for the uninspiring singles. Yet, she was not deterred.
While she was battling to find her feet in the music circles, her foes romantically linked her to the Kukere crooner, Iyanya who squealers said was seeing Ghanaian leggy actress, Yvonne Nelson.
However, this whole saga began when Yvonne Nelson took to the internet to vent her feelings after Iyanya dumped her for Tonto Dike. The drama continued unabated until Tonto Dike replied Yvonne’s tweet and the two actresses took their rivalry to Blackberry messenger (BBM) where they threw ‘nasty’ insults at each other.
