On March 29, 2026, the actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo premiered her new film, “The Return of Arinzo”. The movie marked a step in cross-border collaboration, featuring many Nigerians as well as international stars.
The likes of Priscilla Ojo, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, and Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang, Tanzanian actors Nana Dollz, and many others played a role in the movie.
An event that was expected to bring movie stars together has reportedly sparked confusion after a purported video of Funke cold-shouldering Toyin Abraham went viral.
In the footage, Abraham, who arrived at the movie premiere all joyed, was seen greeting all her colleagues seated at her table.
In the process, she went closer to Funke, believed to be trying to acknowledge her; however, she reportedly remained a strict face and would not turn to return the kind gesture.
However, her actions showed that she was reluctant to exchange pleasantries with her colleague. Despite the awkward scene, Toyin went ahead to greet other movie actors to save the situation.
The scenes immediately went viral, triggering social media users to blast Funke Akindele and prompting Abraham to break her silence.
Toyin, who might have been hurt by her fellow actress’s actions, unfollowed her on Instagram and further took to her social media to announce her block.
In a now-deleted post, she wrote:
“I have unfollowed her, God forbid bad things. If I ever greet her again, that means I am a bast@rd.”
Unexpectedly, reports had claimed Funke Akindele had also returned the energy as she had also unfollowed Toyin, bringing another layer to the already heated controversy.
The alleged tension between the duo has triggered outrage on social media as fans have shared their opinions.
