Actress Lizzy Gold has celebrated colleague Destiny Etiko’s birthday, recalling how rumours once drove a wedge between them, causing them to drift apart for two years.

However, they’ve since reconnected, and according to Lizzy, she is grateful for their renewed bond.

Lizzy, on Instagram, admired Destiny’s ability to connect with others, noting that she’s always been fascinated by how easily Etiko mingles with people.

Addressing rumuor carriers, Lizzy said she has become immune to the gossip, stating that everyone has grown and no longer has the energy to listen to negativity.

In her birthday message, Lizzy praised Destiny for having a beautiful soul and being one of the few people who truly understands her.

She expressed her love and appreciation for Etiko, imperfections and all, and prayed for more blessings and protection in her life.

Lizzy wrote: “Two years ago, we separated as friends because of too many ‘them say ‘in Nollywood. I became lonely because I don’t make friends easily like you do.

So I channeled all the energy into my craft but missed you. Sometimes I would watch how you mingle so easily and wonder how you do it, but I realised it’s your nature. Thank God you realised you were deceived and came back to me.

Some people are still trying to resume “them say, “ but trust me, when you start with them say again, we will discuss and laugh over you. Everyone has grown; nobody has the energy to listen to gossip anymore.

“Destiny, you have a beautiful soul and are one of the few people who understand me. I love you for who you are. I love your imperfections.

I pray today that God will open His heavens and release more blessings for you and your household. Please do not let any weapon in the form of humans separate us again. You already know I do not give rooms for gossip. I love you, Baby. Happy birthday to my friend, my hardworking colleague, my love”.
