In a celebratory Instagram post, Toriola thanked her fans, saying, “Grateful beyond words. Queen Lateefah just hit 57.7 million on its opening weekend! Thank you all for the love and support.”
Her success was met with praise from fellow Nollywood stars like Stan Nze, Jamiu Azeez, Mercy Aigbe, and others, who congratulated her on the remarkable achievement.
