Actresses Bimbo Ademoye and Aisha Lawal have reunited on another movie set after playing rivals in Kunle Afolayan’s Anikulapo.
Aisha posted a video of herself and Bimbo on Instagram on Wednesday filming a new movie.
In the video, the duo could be seen resuming their argument about their characters in the Netflix hit film.
Aisha could be heard saying, “Olori Arolake is here, this girl eh, will show her pepper.”
“After all you did to me, leave me alone why would I hug you, after all you used my eyes to see. I will show you pepper,” Bimbo playfully replied.
The duo laughed as they continued arguing.
Anikulapo is the story of Saro, a traveling clothe weaver, who was beaten to death for having an affair with the Alaafin’s youngest wife named Arolake played by Bimbo.
A mystical bird brings him back to life, leaving behind a gourd with the power to raise the dead.
Aisha played the role of Sunkanmi, an older wife of the Alaafin who made life unbearable for Arolake due to her jealousy.
Bimbo Ademoye also blamed Aisha Lawal’s character for Arolake’s misfortune in Anikulapo.
According to Aisha, her character Sunkanmi was faulted over Arolake’s decision to elope with Saro. Many believed that the ill-treatment received from Sunkanmi and her co-wife drove Arolake away.
Responding to the criticism in an Instagram post in September, Aisha Lawal defended her character, saying that Arolake was not a saint either as she faked a fever to have sex with the king knowing it was Sunkanmi’s turn.
She wrote: “OK SO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MOST TALK ABT MOVIE OF THE MOMENT #ANIKULAPO I HAVE BEEN SEEING YOUR TAGS ON IG AND TWITTER SERIOUSLY HOW IS IT OLORI SUNKANMI’S FAULT THAT OLORI AROLAKE @bimboademoye FOLLOW FINE BOY ELOPE?

Reacting in the comment section of the post, Bimbo Ademoye blamed her colleague’s character for Arolake’s misfortune.
“Na you cause am Na,” she wrote.
