Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has publicly confirmed that she has unfollowed her colleague Funke Akindele on Instagram following their recent encounter at a movie premiere.
The fallout comes after a viral video showed Funke appearing to ignore Toyin at the premiere of Return of Arinze, hosted by Iyabo Ojo.
Reacting in the comment section of the video, Toyin did not hold back.
“I have unfollowed her. God forbid bad thing. If I ever greet her again that means I am a bastard,” she wrote.
Her response quickly spread across social media, drawing mixed reactions from fans. While some expressed disappointment with the situation, others supported her stance.
It was also observed that Funke has unfollowed Toyin as well, suggesting the tension may be mutual.
The incident has reignited conversations about relationships within Nollywood, especially between top actresses who have long been compared due to their success and influence.
Toyin recently reached a major milestone with her film Oversabi Aunty, which crossed the ₦1 billion mark at the Nigerian box office.
The achievement places her among the industry’s highest-grossing filmmakers, a space where Funke Akindele has consistently set records with her own cinema releases.
Despite their apparent reconciliation in 2023, the latest development suggests that tensions may have resurfaced, though neither party has issued an official statement beyond the online reactions.
