Funke Akindele Snubs Toyin Abraham at Iyabo Ojo’s Movie Premiere

A moment of unease played out on Sunday at the premiere of a new film hosted by Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, after fellow actress Funke Akindele appeared to ignore a greeting from her colleague Toyin Abraham.

The incident, which has since gained traction on social media, occurred while Akindele was seated at a table alongside Ojo and Mercy Aigbe. Eyewitness accounts and a now-viral video show Abraham approaching the table to exchange pleasantries.

While Ojo and Aigbe acknowledged her greeting warmly, Akindele reportedly averted her gaze and did not respond, creating an awkward moment that drew attention from nearby guests.

Abraham, visibly uncomfortable, was seen leaving the table shortly after the brief exchange.

The episode has sparked widespread reactions online, with fans and industry watchers divided over Akindele’s conduct.

Some supporters argued that her reaction may be linked to past disagreements, particularly Abraham’s perceived alignment with comments made by filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, which were critical of Akindele.

Others, however, maintained that regardless of any underlying issues, the setting called for professionalism, especially at a public industry event.

Neither Akindele nor Abraham has publicly commented on the development as of the time of filing this report.
