Famous Nollywood actress, Nse Ikpe-Etim, has generated significant reactions after expressing her response to losing the highly coveted AMVCA (Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards) for Best Actress to Osas Ighodaro. The incident occurred at the recently held 2023 AMVCA event, which celebrated exceptional talents in the movie industry. Nse Ikpe-Etim was nominated for her outstanding performance in the Netflix Original series "Shanty Town," along with her co-star Ini Edo, Enado Odigie ("Flawsome"), Immaculata Oko Kasum ("Ile Owo"), Ini Dima-Okojie ("Flawsome"), Queen Nwokoye ("Strained"), Scarlet Gomez ("Wura"), and Nimo Loveline ("The Planters Plantation"). While Bimbo Ademoye was considered a strong contender for her leading role in "Anikulapo," it was Osas Ighodaro who ultimately emerged as the winner for her performance in the Netflix project "Man of God." After Osas delivered her acceptance speech, Nse Ikpe-Etim took to Twitter and posted a single laughing emoji, igniting the expected flurry of online reactions. Some of the responses to Nse's tweet included statements such as "It's actually so glaring hence laughable" by @Chikalove1Chika, "Industry nah as you open legs, award go come oh... Too bad you're responsible" by @MaxueLvictorT, "Omo then cheat this woman ha" by @Redfairylee, "You are my winner. No Nollywood actress comes close to you. Make their sponsors continue" by @CynthiaIgobah, "They must shaa rig Osas in every year. Maybe she has their nudes" by @Amlovelybae, and "Women supporting women in the mud" by @indulge_tweets.
Shortly after Osas delivered her acceptance speech on the grand stage, Nse Ikpe-Etim tweeted a single laughing emoji, which sparked the kind of reaction one would anticipate in an online setting.
