Barely a week after crossing the 350 million naira mark, Toyin Abraham’s ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee’ has added another milestone to its record-breaking run, raking in 401 million naira at the Nigerian box office. The fourth installment in the ‘Alakada’ franchise continues to dominate cinemas nationwide.
The comedy, directed by Kayode Kasum, debuted on December 20, 2024, and has maintained strong momentum, thanks to glowing word-of-mouth, star power, and a loyal fanbase. The film follows the comedic misadventures of Yetunde Animashaun, a wannabe influencer hilariously played by Abraham, as she navigates the chaotic world of social media stardom.
Abraham, who has been sharing updates on the film’s success with her fans, expressed her excitement about the latest milestone: “To every single soul who has taken the time to watch ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee’, thank you from the depths of my heart. Your love and support have breathed life into this project, and I’m eternally grateful.”
The film’s ability to sustain its box office appeal stems from its sharp commentary on social media culture and its stellar performances by a cast that includes Broda Shaggi, Bimbo Ademoye, and Yhemolee. The combination of comedy, relatability, and timely storytelling has made ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee’ a must-watch for moviegoers.
Industry analysts predict the film could inch closer to the 450 million naira mark in the coming weeks, solidifying its legacy in Nollywood history. For Abraham and her team, this achievement is another testament to the strength of Nigerian storytelling.
