There was a moment of tension at the movie premiere hosted by Nollywood actress and producer Iyabo Ojo on Sunday after Funke Akindele appeared to ignore greetings from fellow actress Toyin Abraham, sparking reactions on social media.
The incident occurred while Akindele was seated at the same table with Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe. Although Iyabo and Mercy responded to Toyin Abraham’s greetings, Akindele reportedly looked away and did not acknowledge her.
Observers said Abraham appeared embarrassed by the situation and quietly walked away from the table after the brief interaction.
A video of the moment later circulated online, drawing mixed reactions from fans and industry followers, with many debating whether the perceived snub was intentional.
While some supporters defended Akindele’s reaction, citing lingering disagreements linked to filmmaker Kunle Afolayan’s earlier criticism, others argued the situation should have been handled more professionally in a public setting.
