Nollywood is on fire right now after a shocking moment between two of its biggest stars Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham and honestly, nobody saw this coming!
So here’s what went down…
At the glamorous premiere of The Return of Arinzo, hosted by Iyabo Ojo, all eyes were on the red carpet celebrities, fashion, cameras flashing everywhere… but the real highlight turned out to be unexpected drama.
In a video currently going viral, Toyin Abraham was seen approaching Funke Akindele to greet her. Not once… but twice.
And guess what?
Funke Akindele completely ignored her.
Yes o completely.
No handshake, no smile, no acknowledgment,nothing.she just faced her front like nothing happened.
The moment was awkward, and you could literally feel the tension through the screen. People around them even started reacting, but Funke kept it moving like nothing happened.
Now, that alone was enough to set social media on fire but it didn’t stop there.
Shortly after the incident,
Toyin Abraham unfollowed Funke Akindele on Instagram. And she made it clear that she would never greet Funke again.
And just like that the situation has escalated from an awkward moment to full-blown Nollywood drama as Funke Akindele has now returned the favor and unfollowed toyin,
As expected, fans are divided.
Some are defending Funke Akindele, saying: She’s not obligated to greet anyone she’s not cool with. No need to pretend for the cameras or act nice because the camera are rolling meanwhile you hate behind the scenes.
While others are saying
That was disrespectful, especially in public. That Funke should have pretended and greet toyin back.
And then there are those who believe this is deeper than what we saw.

Toyin Abraham knows how to manipulate the public and play pity card, every year she indirectly drag Funke and still act nice in the public.
2024 she pushed a narrative that Funke was using gifts, she also started using gifts
last year she push a narrative that Funke was getting more view time.
And she always end up coping everything Funke Does.
I’m sure if she didn’t greet Funke, people will still talk
But sis Funke no matter what it is, Toyin is your colleague. you shdn't have snubbed her. we still love u sha.
Toyin dress don do the justice, see as her top wan comot Funke hair 😂😂😂
Life is too short, they should stop the childish behaviours and settle their differences.
Don't let the devil come between you ladies.
Funke, I love you, but it wouldn't hurt to just return her greetings.
You can always discuss your issues later.
U people should rest, best know to funky. Funky do a good thing
Funky is not a pretander like u people
Again, another blogger / YouTuber not paying attention to the real issue!!! IYABO!! IYABOOOOOO IS THE PROBLEM!!!
I don't know why you Facebook families taking paracetamol for the celebrity headache
I don’t know why people are not seeing what Toyin is doing, she is green snake under the green grass. She knows what she is doing
Una fight no concern me so far una dey act good movies
Toyin behaved like ghetto people
Honestly, some of Toyin’s movies come across as poorly put together and lacking clear direction, it’s hard to follow the storyline at times. It’s surprising to hear such big claims about the money they generate when the quality doesn’t seem to match.
All Toyin does is copy and paste movies
All of you blaming funke are not serious and fake, i don't have problem with toyin….but we all don't know what happened why they had issues… but God punish any person who beef me in silence and come in public acting all cool with me…i will do the same
Bad energy should stay far away…funke did the right thing no one should play with your intelligence …toyin Abraham is a bad person
When Toyin knew they are not in good time why did she greet her publicly. I don’t blame Funke she is not fake. Toyin just wants to drag her. She knew Funke will not respond to her greeting.
What is it that she did that till date you are still this red
At least pretend and accept the greetings
NIGERIANS!!! What a shame AFRICANS. Slavery would've never happened if Africans 2:17 didn't sell their own. The leopard cannot lose its spots. Africans don't love each other. Always jealous and biggering. Smh. I don't care how you guys want to do things like the western world, you will never measure up. No diplomacy, no class.
Honestly, there’s absolutely no reason for Funke not to have answered Toyin, this is simple courtesy! If Toyin had greeted everyone on that table & ignored Funke, pls, tell me, what would everyone be saying now? In my own opinion, Funke should have just nodded to the greetings, we wouldn’t be where we are now, that’s my own opinion, though! SMH 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Funke is not a pretender! So don't blame her for her action. Toyin is a politician. Toyin wants to embarrass Funke, but Funke is a woman of principles
I don't know how some people think but me…I don't know how to pretend ooo
The problem we have is that don't demote levels. let's learn to demote levels in our
I'm not supporting any ,but I will choose who's my friend is.
We're colleagues and not friends ,let's maintain it . To be someone's friend, no be here ooo,and it's not by force .
They can act movie and still not be friend yeah ,so it's not a bad thing .
I do it myself,i demote levels oooo
I love what the last person said,if we no dey talk to each other avoid me in public pls,no pretence here,no dey shine teeth for me abeg ,I'm the bad person ,clock it
Las las both of them will be alright. Maturity is knowing boundaries and respecting each other..peace out
NAIJA MAKE UNA MIND UNA BUSSINESS
what if you are not right madam
Bt what beef does Funke has for Mercy …
And there is no acting hypocrite by Toyin…after d buhaha btw dem,they were both seen at a premier dancing together.
Maturity demands she responded ao i dnt understand u saying they dnt talk recently
Let's us all be mature here, we don't need to keep grudges. We are Adults. Once she decide to greet here. She should have responded. Funky is not mature
Alot of them did not like funky, because she's too full of her self
Yes, Funke did the right thing. The other lady is a chronic c.cl.p
I knew the party Kunle hosted them last month something must have happened there that she got to know. Be careful what you say where people are, you don't know who is recording you.
There's a lot going on behind the scene, the Funke I know is not a pretender, her action is just based on reaction to whatever is happening behind the scene.
I
Love what you just said a lot of people won’t like when someone is giving them fake attention some don’t even greet their neighbors yet they are here to force opinion if he reach your turn accept fake greetings funke akindele been giving my vibe if am not cool with you I won’t fake it I dont know how to do that at all
No pretense for the camera.
Funke is not a pretender.
Period
I now from today dislike funke akindele.no wonder her marriages didn't work.
Funke dosent like anyone better than her and she sees toyin as a rivalry
Can anyone notice how iyawo use her left ankle to gist mercy,walai all of them na fake love btw thm,wumi has said it before am now seeing why wumi distance herself from agbaya sisters,ika gbogbo
Both of them should try to release their films at different times of the year to reduce this kind of tender.
You know you can greet someone and still keep your distance? It is called maturity….
Why Malice at this stage of our lives ?
We no need am
Iyabo is hypocrite
Who cares kmt
God forbid if anything happen now, they will now be showing fake love, bcos you have a issue with someone doesn't mean we cant greet, life is too short than all this childish attitude…. Even if its just to nod her head, there is nothing there….
Funke should learn to curb her emotion….its part of maturity, i am not saying Toyin did not offend her, we are boun to offend each other, that shouldn't be the end of the world na..
i like your word.
Truth be say lots of Dem hate funke , there are news bout she doing stuffs ND sabotaging efforts especially in Cinema viewing time ND all, if you frequent cinemas you'd understand that part it seem like true, but not everything that seems true is actually true. Even Mercy isn't cool with funke, but they stood side by side on stage ND laughed at wat iyabo said ND cuz they were all there for her, so if she funke answered dat greetings ND it ended there no big deal, more over there's room for a repentant sinner if he/she truly wants to repent.
And also if we want to check well, iyabo might be d problem but Dem no fit tell her, cuz she's d one who's bestie with all of Dem, but also she might be innocent ND choose to ignore Dem, such happens to me, being in d middle.
Funke anytime
All is well
Am learning
But people sitting with them should have said something tooo now
