“Just consider all those my childish fight as envy because that year Mercy Johnson was all I wanted to be until I realize say to be me better pass!!!”
Mercy in reaction expressed happiness over Tonto Dikeh’s frankness while telling the 33-year-old how much she loves her.
She said: We need to pick you up, make a clone of you and your beautiful heart and keep you safe for the world to see, cherish and emulate from and love forever. Thank you sweets, mad love for you always.”
Tonto Dikeh ignited a feud with Mercy Johnson when she blasted the latter for going back to work soon after giving birth to her first child, Purity.

Clearly, things are all good between these two actresses.
