The moment Funke ignored Toyin
Funke Akindele sparked social media chatter on Sunday when she reportedly snubbed fellow Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham at the premiere of Iyabo Ojo’s latest film.
Seated at the same table as Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe, Funke allegedly ignored Toyin when she came over to greet them. While Iyabo and Mercy responded warmly, Funke looked away, leaving Toyin embarrassed and prompting her to walk away.
A video of the moment quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online.
Some fans argued that Funke was justified in her response, referencing Toyin’s previous agreement with veteran filmmaker Kunle Afolayan’s criticism of Funke. Others felt she should have remained professional and acknowledged her colleague.
