Actress Eniola Ajao has finally broken the ice on the current controversy in the film industry over the \u2018Best Dressed Female\u2019 award to cross dresser Bobrisky at her movie premiere.<\/p>\n
The movie star, on Sunday, premiered her highly anticipated movie, Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds, which attracted many celebrities<\/p>\n
Many turned up in interesting costumes and to the surprise of many, Bobrisky was crowned the Best Dressed Female of the night, walking home with a N1m\u00a0 cheque which didn\u2019t sit well with many.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the saga, Eniola Ajao, in an interview with Arise News TV, said the choice of\u00a0 Bobrisky was deliberate for publicity stunt and marketing strategy to promote the movie.<\/p>\n
She noted how the crossdresser as a controversial person, generated more buzz for the project with the award.<\/p>\n
She noted how people are dragging Femi Adebayo, who was oblivious to her schemes and only trying to support her by being the presenter of the night.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was all joke, we wanted to have fun. We wanted people to talk about the movie. My team and I decided that the movie needed to be talked about and for it to be in the faces of people and we decided to give it to Bobrisky because he is a controversial person.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, people started talking about it, but some people are trying to come at Femi Adebayo, who is my boss. He wasn\u2019t even aware of so many things that were going on. I only called him to help me announce this, he wasn\u2019t part of the judges or anything,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
She apologised to Femi Adebayo saying he was only supporting a colleague, whom he considers his sister.<\/p>\n
Eniola also apologised to Dayo Amusa and others who might have been offended about how things turned out.<\/p>\n
She wrote: \u201cHey fam, I was on @arisenewsofficial today to promote the most-anticipated movie of the season, @ajakajumovie and I touched on the trending issue of best-dressed female at the premiere.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate all women all around the globe. You all are strong, bold, powerful, fierce, and monumental. Nothing in the world, not my decisions or that of anyone can take that away from you. Please, guys, take it easy on my boss @femiadebayosalami, all he did was to support his sister and things went south \u2013 a position nobody deserves to find themselves in. I apologize to him, @dayoamusa, and to EVERYONE who feels offended about how everything turned out. Please, don\u2019t throw the baby away with the bathwater<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks for the unwavering love and support! Come March 29, I can\u2019t wait for you all to see @ajakajumovie and you will be glad you did. Spread the word \u2013 BEAST OF TWO WORLDS is coming!!!!\u201d.<\/p>\n
