    Actress Regina Daniels has responded to recent claims by her colleague, Angela Okorie, throwing subtle shade while addressing past issues between them.

    Refuting allegations that her husband, Ned Nwoko, had shown interest in being part of Angela’s project, Regina dismissed the claim as “fiction from the pits.”

    She also revisited their early days in Nollywood, accusing Angela of struggling with her lines and wasting over 20 tapes during film shoots.

    Regina further cautioned Angela against allowing pride to cloud her judgment, stating that her own background does not tolerate disrespect, and reminding her to stay grateful to those who supported her rise.

    She wrote: “Kwete o! My mama you no go talk shishi for here. No one deserves that explanation. Leave her for me. Now I will answer as the disrespectful child you branded me. But deep down, you know you do not have the privilege to call me a child but rather ‘sis’.

    “Now Let’s drop the maturity cloak I hide behind. Werey I thought you were good at typing and speaking loud like you own a megaphone. Mind you, I haven’t dropped any tangible receipt or moved beyond my keypad except the ones your chochocho mouth has produced. But thanks for revealing that my ancestor blocked you. May we not do anything to offend our ancestors. They move faster than karma.”

    Reacting to the claims that her husband once wanted to feature someone in a movie, she said: “Now to the biggest lie you dropped like it was gospel. That my husband wanted me in your project? C’mon girl even you know that’s fiction from the pits. Or you meant begging for support for your project?”

    “Remember your first ever movie role? Was with me and my mama Mercy Johnson where the whole jealousy began because you couldn’t take your lines and wasted over 20 tapes… Even then, the gap was obvious.

    “Also, if you spoil for my eye, you don spoil for my ancestors too… It’s not by age, it’s by spirit and my lineage doesn’t play with disrespect. Don’t let pride blind you to the people who carried you.”
