Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has responded to the wave of criticism that followed his revelation about losing dozens of horses over the years. The Yoruba movie star took to his Instagram page to set the record straight after many social media users questioned his earlier claim that he had lost 48 horses, with some doubting he could even afford to own that many.
Chatta Corrects Number of Horse Losses
In a fresh video, Chatta corrected the figure, revealing that the number has now risen to 49 after another horse recently died. Addressing the controversy, the actor explained that he usually ignores negative comments about himself but decided to speak because of the volume of criticism he saw online.
According to him, another horse died after the earlier interview, making the total number of horses he has lost 49. He stated: “I have cultivated the habit of not addressing everything people say about me. I watched like two videos that people reposted, bashing me. Let me say it directly: I have lost 49 horses and not 48. Because after that 48, another one died. This year we have lost two horses, and this is the lowest.”
Financial and Emotional Burden of Raising Horses
His clarification comes days after an earlier video where he spoke about the huge financial burden of raising horses and the emotional pain that comes with losing them. Following his initial revelation, many social media users doubted Chatta's story. Some questioned whether the actor truly owned such a large number of horses, while others wondered how he could afford the enormous cost of feeding, housing and caring for them.
Over the years, Ibrahim Chatta has regularly shared videos and photos from his stable, often describing the animals as part of his family. Earlier, the actor also threatened legal action against one of his workers after alleging that the staff member injured one of his horses through negligence.
