She emphasized that her comment was not intended to hurt him but believed he reacted strongly because there was truth in her words.
Expressing her disappointment, Etinosa wrote, “Thunder fire you. Block me so you can sleep at night but you cannot block the voice in your head telling you the truth. The truth is bitter.” She urged Frederick to treat all crew members with respect, stating that many avoid projects involving him due to his alleged behavior.

This incident highlights the broader conversation about professionalism and interpersonal relationships within the Nigerian entertainment industry. It underscores the importance of clear communication and the need to address conflicts respectfully, whether publicly or privately.
