Nigerian actress Bimbo Adebayo says she is reaching out to her Yoruba film colleague Ibrahim “Itele” Yekini to reconcile after months of strained relations. In an Instagram post, she shares a video and throwback photos of them together and says “there’s been silence between us for almost a year,” describing the situation as hurt, pride, and things left unsaid.
Adebayo says she is choosing peace over determining who is right or wrong. She apologizes if she “said anything, done anything or reacted” that may have hurt him and reiterates her respect for Itele as her senior colleague, brother, and friend. She also asks followers to pray for reconciliation, saying life is short and holding on to pain keeps wounds open.
Daily Post Nigeria frames the development as a reconciliatory move following “months of silence” linked to a disagreement, while Nigerian Eye reports her message directly and includes Itele’s response. In the comments, Itele says he has moved on, calls it a misunderstanding, and agrees to leave the issue in the past.
The specific details of what led to the silence have not been publicly disclosed by either outlet.
