Ibrahim Chatta mourned the loss of one of his beloved horses last month, sharing an emotional video tribute on social media. The actor, who keeps horses at his film village, bid a heartfelt farewell, acknowledging God’s will, his colleagues offered supportive condolences during this difficult time.
In June, Ibrahim Chatta sparked controversy when he publicly threatened to arrest a staff member for allegedly injuring one of his horses, which he condemned as animal cruelty. However, after sharing his intentions on social media, users intervened, urging him to reconsider and handle the situation internally.
Nigerians expressed outrage on social media last year when Ibrahim Chatta was snubbed by the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), failing to receive a nomination for his notable role in Femi Adebayo’s blockbuster film “King of Thieves.” Fans praised Chatta’s exceptional acting skills, citing his versatility and consistent delivery of impressive performances throughout his career, leading many to question the omission.
Ibrahim Chatta’s baby mama, Olayinka Solomon, also publicly defended him, criticizing the AMVCA organizers for overlooking his deserving performance. She demanded transparency, calling for the release of the award criteria, and highlighted Ibrahim’s versatility and talent, questioning the justification for his snub.
Also Ibrahim Chatta expressed disappointment, not over being snubbed for an award, but for not receiving an invitation to the AMVCA ceremony, while his junior colleagues did. He humbly acknowledged there are actors more deserving than him, but questioned the oversight, feeling overlooked and undervalued by the organizers.
