Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has finally stepped forward to address circulating rumours suggesting that she shares a close friendship with fellow actress Annie Idibia. In a recent interview, Yvonne firmly denied the speculation, stressing that the perceived bond between her and Annie is largely exaggerated and far from reality.
Speaking during a candid session on Naija FM 102.7, Yvonne explained that her interactions with Annie Idibia have always been minimal and strictly professional. She emphasized that apart from a singular collaboration on the music video for “African Queen,” there has never been any personal connection between the two actresses, and their relationship does not extend beyond professional boundaries.
“Apart from the video for African Queen, I don’t think anybody has seen us together before. We don’t have common friends,” Yvonne clarified. She went on to reiterate that there has never been any personal relationship between her and Annie, and she does not maintain any friendship with her outside of work commitments.
She elaborated further, noting that she is unsure where people are getting the narrative of a friendship. “Back then, I only walked into a studio, did my thing for the African Queen video, and left,” she explained, emphasizing the lack of any ongoing personal engagement with Annie.
Yvonne also addressed circulating claims of a supposed social media fallout between them. She revealed that she and Annie have never followed each other online, and any rumours about unfollowing or online disputes are entirely unfounded. She clarified that the supposed feud is purely a product of online speculation and misinterpretation of minimal professional interactions.
Her comments arrive amid recent speculation linking her to Annie Idibia while also allegedly supporting the union between 2Baba and his new wife, Natasha Osawaru. Yvonne made it clear that any reports of personal closeness with Annie or involvement in the couple’s private matters are inaccurate and misleading.
Following her statements, fans and social media users responded positively, noting that celebrity relationships are often sensationalized. Many applauded Yvonne for addressing the rumours transparently and without unnecessary drama, highlighting her professionalism in handling public misconceptions.
By clarifying these points, Yvonne Jegede has effectively put to rest all speculation regarding a friendship with Annie Idibia. She stressed that their connection remains limited solely to their past professional collaboration, with no ongoing personal engagement between them.
