Charles Novia and Rita Dominic in Twitter Spat

Following a recent release by Producer, Charles Novia on Nollwood's five best actresses with Rita Dominic taking the least position, the two celebrities have engaged in a twitter battle.

According to the producer on his website, Rita Dominic's role in the movie 'Finding Mercy' was her least performance as an actor 'I also watched her in another recently released movie, 'Finding Mercy' but felt that she gave a listless and lukewarm performance in that flick' he wrote.

Although admitting that Rita had a good year with a couple of awards and nominations, the producer said she has more to prove and also needs to be selective of her roles from now on because there might be 'false slips ahead'.

This seems to have gotten the actress infuriated as she replied him on twitter as soon as her role in the same movie was appreciated by the Best of Nollywood (BON) awards. 'Check that Charles has not drowned himself. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS ENGLISH (BONAwards): Rita Dominic for 'Finding Mercy'. She tweeted on Friday, December 6.

However, the producer took it calm but not relenting in his earlier view 'Dear Rita Dominic: I am still alive and won't die for a looong time. My opinion of your role in Finding Mercy still persists. Congrats.'

Charles Novia released his list on Thursday, December 5 with Mercy Johnson topping the chart and Tamara Eteimo coming second. Damilola Adegbite and Yvonne Okoro were placed in the third and fourth position respectively.

Novia, a popular producer, has become quite controversial in recent times, for his views on Nollywood and other areas of the entertainment industry.
