Fallout of ‘I’ll Take My Chances’ premiere: Emem Isong denies rift with Ini Edo

Royal Arts Academy’s movie, I’ll take my Chances, has recorded a very huge cinema success, no doubt. However, the country’s entertainment scene has also been agog with rumours of disagreement between the producers of the movie, Emem Isong and Iniobong Edo.

Those peddling the story claimed that Emem had been fighting her colleague, Ini for taking the credit for the movie alone, without including her name as a co-producer.

During the week, we sought Emem Isong’s reaction on the matter and she had this to say. “I don’t know where that rumour is coming from. Ini and I are best of friends and we have no issues whatsoever. The movie is doing great and we are cool with it. People are just prone to talking rubbish, I’m sorry. You can call Ini yourself and ask her. We are close and there is nothing like disagreement. Like I said, disregard those talks, they are mere rumours”. Speaking further,  Emem said, “We have been busy on location with a soap opera titled A Perfect Love”. She concluded that the 13-episode soap was written by Royal Arts Academy students and is still undergoing production, as you read this.

WHAT'S BREWING BETWEEN NSE IKPE-ETIM AND EMEM ISONG ?

Those who are conversant with happenings in the Nigerian movie industry will recall that actress Nse Ikpe-Etim left Nollywood some years back after featuring in a few films.

The Akwa Ibom State born pretty babe moved to the Federal Capital Territory where she spent many years trying her hands in other endeavours.But three years ago,talented producer,Emem Isong,forwarded the script of her award winning film entitled Reloaded to Nse who came out of hiatus and made a sensational come back to Nollywood.
In these past three years,Nse has starred in almost all the films that Emem Isong has produced and their bond is very strong.

However,late last year,top actress Monalisa Chinda who is a close pal of Isong and co-owner of Royal Arts Academy reportedly had a clash with Nse that reportedly brought her friendship with Ms. Etim to an end.It has been discovered that since the development took effect,Ms. Etim seems to have detached herself from the clique and this has been made clear as she has been absent at all the events hosted by her former clique of friends since the last quarter of 2011,an action that was never noticed before when the going was good.

It has equally been discovered that Nse has stopped appearing in movies done by Emem Isong and Monalisa Chinda and was not one of the cast of the new soap opera the duo launched few weeks ago.

Insiders squealed that as it was Emem Isong that brought Nse back to Nollywood and going by their closeness,there was no way she would not have featured in the soap titled Catwalq if their relationship was still intact as she is a very good actress.

Now,everyone is looking forward to seeing how Nse and her godmother settle their rift.
