Talented Nigerian actor and producer Ibrahim Yekini, known as Itele, has publicly addressed a female colleague for spreading gossip about him. In an Instagram post, he expressed his dismay at the rumors, emphasizing that he has never offended her and highlighting the hard work that led him to his current success. Itele urged his colleague to cease the negative talk, calling it unnecessary and hurtful. He pointed out that gossip aimed at creating division among those who care for each other reflects more on the insecurities of the gossiper than on the subject of the rumors. He concluded with a powerful message: true strength lies in building connections, not tearing them apart.
‘Dear female colleague,

I want to address something that’s been bothering me. I’ve noticed some gossip about me, and it seems to be coming from you. I don’t understand why this is happening, as I have never done anything to offend you. We work in different roles, and I worked so hard to be here, Anu mi Mori gba.
I kindly ask that you stop these negative talks, as they are unnecessary and hurtful!Thank you for understanding”.
