Mercy Aigbe-Gentry blasts ThisDay Style Magazine after Nollywood’s best dressed list snub

Mercy Aigbe-Gentry has slammed ThisDay Style of her exclusion from the front cover of the mag's best dressed actors in Nollywood.

The mag had titled the issue ''Nollywood’s Best Dressed'', and had featured a number of great looks from the night, including Richard Mofe-Damijo, Beverly Naya and Rita Dominic.

The 37-year-old actress wrote, ''Hey Fam….so I just came back from church and decided to check IG only for me to see plenty tags on a particular pix posted by @thisdaystyle …..I read pple’s comments asking why Mercy isn’t on the cover and at first I wanted to waka pass, but on a second thought I decided to talk about it, cos it’s been an issue dat has lingered for too long!…….I thought to myself why didn’t Mercy make the cover of @thisdaystyle best dressed list?….
