Top 5 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Are BEST FRIENDS

 

Who says celebs can’t be best friends?

Many people believe that 2 people in power, especially in the same industry, cannot be friends because they’ll always find themselves competing with each other.

In fact, this sentiment is felt even by people inside the entertainment industry. Tonto Dikeh in an interview famously said she can’t be friends with any actresses. In her own words, Tonto said:

We are all fighting for the same thing. We are all killing ourselves. It’s a cycle. We share the same men, the same clothes, the same movies, the same things. So, it’s a cycle. Why would you want to be friends with someone who wants your life!

Well Ms Tonto, today I’m here to share a list with you of people who’ve gone ahead to be friends. Some of these are men and men, some of these are men and women, and some of these are yes, believe it or not Ms Tonto, women and women. Best friends! I know, unbelievable.

So, without further ado, let’s jump right into our list and explore 12 celebrities who also happen to be best friends.

5. Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme

Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme have played brothers, best friends, and joint rascals so many times on our television that if they weren’t friends in real life, a lot of Nigerians would be bummed out.

Thankfully, this is not the case. The pair are just as close off screen as they are on screen.

In fact, in 2018, Osita posted a picture of himself with Chinedu writing:

An honest friend is a precious gift

When rumors of a beef started bubbling up, Osita quickly shut it down saying:

There is no hostility between Aki and me. We are still best friends, and we are on good terms. We talk when we need to, and any report of fights between us is the figment of the writer’s imagination.

Talk about a long lasting friendship.
