At some point, the rivalry that existed between Nollywood actresses,Mercy Johnson and Tonto Dikeh in the movie industry was intense. It was obvious they were enemies.

However, they have seemed to gone past their differences and grievances as presently they maintain a cordial relationship.

Speaking on what led to their rivalry,Tonto Dikeh took to social media to explain their fight was childish. She also stated that it was because she was envious of Mercy Johnson who was the only one who could act better than her in the Nollywood.

She said she has now realized that it was better to be herself than wanting to be like Mercy.

Sharing a throwback photo of them together, Tonto wrote:
