Popular Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has responded to accusations made by a fashion designer who claims she owes a significant amount of money.
The designer, identified as @stitchesbyandra, expressed frustration on social media, stating that Abraham had not settled the debt for over two months.
“@toyin_abraham @annieidibial @gabrielanthonys, my patience is running out already. 1 year and 2 months. How can you be with someone’s millions and feel so reluctant,” @stitchesbyandra wrote.
In response, Toyin Abraham clarified that the dress in question was not a purchase but a borrowed item that had been returned after use.
“Hello everyone, I want to address the recent allegations about an unpaid debt to a fashion designer. The situation has been completely misunderstood. During the production of *Malaika*, there was a runway scene, and we needed dresses. We contacted a couple of designers, including 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 them back to Gabriel, who brought them to us.
“Upon seeing the allegations online, I called Gabriel immediately for clarification. Gabriel confirmed that he informed the designer that the dresses had already been returned to him and subsequently borrowed by someone else. Therefore, it is no longer my responsibility. I hope this clears the confusion,” the actress explained.
