Nollywood star Toyin Abraham has responded to allegations made by fashion designer @stitchesbyandra, who accused her, Annie Idibia, and Gabriel Anthony of owing a significant debt for over a year.
The designer expressed frustration on Instagram, claiming the trio was reluctant to settle the millions owed.
In a swift response, Toyin denied any outstanding debts, clarifying that the dresses in question were borrowed for a film shoot and returned to Gabriel, who had introduced her to the designer.
She emphasized that she had paid for a hairpiece from the designer and expressed disappointment at being dragged into the situation, maintaining her commitment to a clean business reputation.
Toyin stated that Gabriel confirmed the dresses were returned and subsequently borrowed by another party, thus absolving her of any responsibility.
She plans to provide screenshots of conversations for further clarification.
In her words: “Hello everyone, I want to address the recent allegations regarding an unpaid debt to a fashion designer. The situation has been completely misunderstood, and I’d like to clarify what happened.

During the production of the movie Malaika, there was a runway scene, and we needed dresses. We contacted a couple of designers, 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 the dresses back to Gabriel, who had initially brought them to us.

Upon seeing the allegations online, I immediately called Gabriel for clarification. Gabriel confirmed that he informed the designer that the dresses had already been returned to him, and that they were subsequently borrowed by someone else. It is, therefore, no longer my responsibility.

I hope this clears the confusion. Screenshots of THE conversation between the designer and Gabriel will be included for further proof. I appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. Thank you.”
