Abraham expressed her gratitude, saying, “God of my journey, thank you. I am grateful that you helped me beat my last record! I am my own competition!

The actress also thanked her fans for their support, adding, “To my fans and everyone who has watched ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee’, thank you. Despite everything, you stood your ground and made me a happy woman. Ẹṣé gan ó. Mo dúpé.”
In her post, Toyin didn’t shy away from addressing challenges within the industry. She praised cinemas that have supported her film and called out others who she feels tried to undermine her success.
“To the cinemas, especially the ones that have made it clear that their goal is for the industry to grow and support every movie irrespective of who is distributing it, thank you. And to those cinemas that made it clear they don’t want us to succeed, God has proven Himself to be greater than man—thank you, Lord,” she added.
