Former Friends Turned Frenemies Turned Friends Again
Bobrisky and Tonto Dikeh once shared a famously close friendship that spanned five years before a bitter fallout in 2021, marked by public accusations and social media spats.
Their feud began when Tonto posted a cryptic message about “jealous friends,” prompting Bobrisky to accuse her of living a fake life and owing him N5 million.
“Aunty, pay your debt… Some people are born to be wicked,” Bobrisky fired back then.
By April 2023, Bobrisky publicly admitted during an interview that he missed Tonto, describing her as “a sister” and blaming their fight on their mutual temperaments.
In mid-2024, quiet signs of reconciliation emerged when the duo re-followed each other on Instagram while Bobrisky was serving a prison sentence for naira note defacement.
Their latest birthday exchange confirms that the once-strained friendship has been privately mended.
