Prominent Nollywood actresses Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele appear to have mended fences, putting an end to long-standing speculation about their rivalry.
The renewed bond between the two film stars became evident on social media as they recently followed each other again on Instagram—an act fans interpreted as a public gesture of reconciliation. Their interaction comes nearly a year after Toyin Abraham took to Instagram, urging for unity and an end to persistent competition among herself, Funke, and fellow actress Mercy Aigbe.
Confirming the thaw in relations, Toyin engaged with one of Akindele’s recent video posts, affectionately commenting, “Aunty Funke, you hot oooo,” in a show of admiration. Funke responded warmly with humor, calling Toyin “onijogbon” (a playful Yoruba term meaning “troublemaker”) and thanking her for the kind words.
The exchange has sparked excitement among fans and industry observers, who see the moment as a positive step toward strengthening camaraderie among Nigeria’s leading actresses. For an industry often marred by publicized feuds, the friendly banter between the two stars is being hailed as a refreshing display of maturity and professional respect.
