A viral video featuring Nollywood stars Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham has ignited widespread reactions across social media, following an apparent snub at a movie premiere that has left fans and industry watchers speculating about a possible rift between the two.
In the trending clip, Toyin Abraham is seen approaching Funke Akindele to greet her warmly. However, Akindele appears to deliberately avoid eye contact, maintaining a straight face and focusing on the screen, despite Abraham’s attempt to engage her. Observers noted that even after physical contact and repeated greetings, the actress did not respond—fueling claims that the action was intentional.
The incident has since triggered a wave of reactions, with many interpreting the moment as a reflection of an underlying feud. Adding to the drama, Toyin Abraham was quoted as saying, “I have unfollowed her and will never greet her again,” suggesting that the relationship between the two may have deteriorated further after the public snub. It was also observed that while Funke Akindele still follows Abraham, the latter has reportedly unfollowed her.
Social media users have been sharply divided in their interpretations. Alice Momoh Bello defended Akindele’s stance, writing, “Funke no dey pretend. Period. There’s nothing like let’s fake it for the audience.” Similarly, Gbenga Olaleye David supported the perceived honesty, stating, “Once you don’t like someone, don’t fake it… na sincerity.”
Others, however, viewed the act as deliberate and unnecessary. Ose Sure remarked, “To me this is not over-focused but intentional because she touched her.” Larah Nyasu criticised the move as undiplomatic, noting, “Nothing stops Funke from replying… there is what we call being diplomatic.” Angel Onyemowo Dorcas also weigh
