Speaking about her relationship with Toyin, Abike said: “My relationship with mama Toyin Abraham, I don’t think anybody could foresee the kind of relationship we have we always have conversations, we always have to sit together, she always reminds me why I am Chichi instead of being Abike. She always reminded me why she is playing my stepmother. “
Quoting Toyin’s words to her, the actress said: “Forget the fact that I love you now, just hate me for a minute,” and that is what I was doing.
