Mercy Aigbe calls out ThisDay Style over 'Best Dressed' cover snub

ThisDay Style released their weekly issue today and their cover story centered on Nollywood's Best Dressed and most of the pictures used were from the 2016 AMVCA. Surprisingly Mercy Aigbe Gentry who was seen as one of the best dressed at that event wasn't on the cover. Mercy wasn't going to let it pass and she called them out in an Instagram post. She wrote..

    2. What is the mumu girl saying? Amoo! Lmao.. I digress, mercy aigbe seems pressed and upset.. since when did best dressed have anything to do with Yoruba actors, American/British Accent, etc?? I see atleast 3 Yoruba actors on here, RMD and Omotola.. etc.. The lady needs to chill!! this is about fashion!

  11. Evil minded and proud guy, so he is saying he has no fault, and he definitely ain't showing remorse . He writes all these to manipulate his daughter in the future into thinking he cared about her but couldn't have access to her coz of her mum's refusal. Wickedness!!! An unrepentant soul!!!! Then he goes on to use this evil things he did to these women as a way to make fast and easy cash by making a song out of it. Low life!!!, lazy man!!!, selfish soul!!! Unrepentant deadly being!!!! Money hungry being!!!!!

  13. Idiot. As old as you are, you are blaming your dumbness on another human being. Shame on you!!! Kai, people are so daft. Just apologise and move on instead of exposing your stupidity, if your child comes home to say he was pressured to be foolish by another person, will you not deal with that child. A grown up like you. Ewu

  14. If you try to read this comment to the end... You'd realized that there's a bit difference between being rich and being poor... If you continue reading this comment, get it clear that you're about to read the part that will blow your mind away and actually have either a negative impact or a positive impact in your life... But listen... If you still insist on reading this comment let me tell you why I made this comment so that you can anticipate what am about to tell you... What am about to tell you will shock you and probably make the world go on third world War... This is it... Since you insist on reading this comment, you've made it... I just want you to know I am davido's driver

  113. Question is What is Nollywood? I remember those days nigerians fell in love with indian films even when we couldnt understand their language. We never stopped watching their films whether interpreted in English Language or otherwise. Bollywood is the second largest to Hollywod. Believe it or not, most Nigerians living abroad watch 99% yoruba nollywood movies because that connects us home. We would rather watch an American movie were there is no struggle to "accentualize" their english than watch english Nollywood. Its time we started embracing and celebrating our language actors and movies else we lose this precious heritage we overlook and down play because of a borrow oyinbo man language.

  115. Like someone said,maybe her brand never ripe,have you noticed that fashion police usa don't analyse every female that graced the red carpet at an award ?They pick the popular ones to disect,shame or approve, if you make it to fashion police to notice what you're wearing,weather good or bad,then you have arrived. There maybe other better dressed ones among the attendees. But they don't comment on them at all.

  116. ThisDay style operates on payments. Ruth Osime, Funke and that nonentity Azuka use the mag as a way to rub shoulders with the rich and famous. Mercy is not on their list because there's no gain from her yet.

  117. Sometimes English is difficult to digest, They said Best Dress Nollywood Stars meaning those that dresses to kill whenever you see them not those that dress beautiful for an event

  118. The truth is i never even heard of mercy before now... and the dress was not classy to me. no shade to her though
