Nollywood stars Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham are back in the spotlight following a viral moment at a movie premiere.
The incident happened at the premiere of Return of Arinze, hosted by Iyabo Ojo, where several industry figures gathered.
Videos circulating online show Toyin approaching a table where Iyabo, Mercy Aigbe, William Benson, and others were seated.
While she exchanged greetings with those present, Funke, who was also at the table, appeared not to respond when Toyin tried to greet her.
The moment quickly caught online attention, with many interpreting it as a snub, though the exact reason for the reaction remains unclear.
Shortly after, Toyin reportedly unfollowed Funke on Instagram, adding more fuel to the conversation.
The development has reignited discussions about the relationship between the two actresses, who were once seen as rivals in the Yoruba film industry. Their past tension was often linked to competition over film releases and box-office performance.
In 2023, both actresses appeared to have moved past their differences, making this recent moment even more surprising to fans.
As reactions continue to pour in, neither Funke nor Toyin has publicly addressed the situation.
