Nollywood actress Ekene Umenwa and her longtime best friend, Deacon Famous, have unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking speculation about a fallout between the duo.
This unexpected move comes just two days after Deacon Famous’ wedding in Asaba, raising eyebrows among fans and followers.
Sources reveal that tension between the two was already noticeable at the wedding, as Ekene reportedly arrived at the venue in an unusual manner, indicating possible strain in their friendship.
According to insiders, the discord began a few days before the wedding when Ekene posted a birthday message for actress Ada Uli, who happens to be Deacon’s ex-girlfriend.
It is alleged that Deacon’s new wife was uncomfortable with her husband’s best friend maintaining ties with his former lover.
This reportedly led to Deacon expressing his displeasure to Ekene, who, in turn, defended her actions.
She allegedly insisted that her friendship with Ada Uli was longstanding and that it would have been unnatural for her to ignore Ada’s birthday simply because Deacon had moved on with another woman.
