Nollywood actress Ada Karl has called out her colleague, Tonto Dikeh over unpaid debts from 15 years ago.
Karl took to Instagram to berate Dikeh for gifting diamonds to her former boyfriend despite owing her for several years.
She also claimed that she had sponsored Dikeh’s entry into the film industry, but had received no return on her investment.
“Tonto you dey buy diamonds for man but you have no conscience to pay what you owe me over 15 years ago,” she wrote.
“I’m not talking of the millions I pumped into your career after I brought you into Nollywood, and gave you your first ever movie role, and sponsored you with my last sweat, till you had your breakthrough and vanished from my life (what a user. I should have signed a contract).
“I am talking about the shoes, clothes, and gold that you bought from me. That money was N80k, in today’s money it’s equivalent to N8m, any day I see you for road, I must collect my money.”
Tonto Dike responding to the post said, ”8 million kill you there, my friend send your AZA fast.”
However in another post wrote
”Tonto, you are my INVESTMENT with Zero ROI; therefore, asking you to pay me atleast, the cash money you admitted owing me, isn’t asking for too much.
Your reply says you were ‘ A little Girl”
I helped….hahaha!
You know for sure that you are one year my senior.
Don’t manipulate The Online Jury by playing the victim card of “The Lil Girl”
I am the victim here, not you.
Sponsoring your career doesn’t make me your elder “No be who first see money be elder oh”
This picture of us from 2007 or so when I already started sponsoring your career, doesn’t look anything like a Lil Girl vs Mummy image of us.
Do you think the masses have Acute Visual Impairment Syndrome ?😀
Why threaten to beat me up ontop my money when I am already looking forward to that.
I did commend your single bone in my previous post so, no contest about your possible capability of beating me up.
I grew up with you and very familiar with your God-given strength of supernatural extra horse-power.
However, You owe me so much.
Did you forget the list I publicly published the other time?
Should I refresh it?
– My car that you used to learn how to drive; it never made it back home, you claimed it had an accident and at a mechanic garage, till today, I still don’t have the address of the mechanic.
– My 32 grams of gold crucifix pendant that you stole, only for me to see it on your neck in a movie some years later, I confronted you and you apologized, promised to return it, I still haven’t seen it ( U no even fear to tief cross)
– The N2.8m that I signed as your Surety for you to borrow for a movie project that I ended up paying in full cos you were nowhere to be found.
Tonto, the list is long and you know it.
Why are you running?
We never had a single quarrel nor argument, you simply vanished from my life the moment you felt you have “Arrived” in the depth of your heart you know you are so indebted to me and have committed so much atrocities on my side but I still stood by you.
I stood by you cos I believed in your talent and severally told you that someday you will make it big in Nollywood, and
proved it by investing in you, my dream was to make your dream come true.”
Karl’s allegations come amid Dikeh’s rekindled Instagram war with ex-lover, Joseph Egbiri alias Prince Kpokpogri.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Dikeh demanded that Kpokpogri return items she had gifted him during their romance.
“Anywhere I see you wearing the Hermes slippers I bought for you, you are going home barefoot.
“In order for you to maintain peace this 2022, return my diamond and other things the police couldn’t retrieve from you because I have no proof to claim,” she wrote.
