A viral video circulating on social media has stirred widespread reactions after popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele appeared to ignore her colleague, Toyin Abraham, during a high-profile movie premiere in Lagos.

The incident reportedly occurred at the premiere of a new film by actress Iyabo Ojo, held over the weekend at a major venue in Lagos. In the widely shared clip, Toyin Abraham is seen approaching a table where Funke Akindele was seated alongside other industry figures, including Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe.

While Toyin Abraham appears to greet those present, including Akindele, the award-winning filmmaker is seen turning away and not responding to the greeting.

The moment, captured on video, quickly spread across social media platforms and ignited debate among fans and observers. Reactions have since been mixed.

Some social media users interpreted Akindele’s behavior as a deliberate snub, suggesting possible tension between the two actresses. Others, however, argued that the moment may have been misinterpreted, noting that such events are often crowded and hectic, leaving room for misunderstandings.

The incident has also fueled further speculation online, with some users pointing to previous rumours about strained relations between the two Nollywood stars, although no verified confirmation of any ongoing dispute has been made.

As of the time of filing this report, neither Funke Akindele nor Toyin Abraham has issued any official statement addressing the viral video or the reactions it has generated.

Both actresses remain prominent figures in Nigeria’s film industry, with Akindele widely recognized for her award-winning productions and Abraham known for her leading roles in several box office successes.

The video continues to trend, with fans calling for calm and urging both actresses to address the situation, while others encourage supporters to avoid drawing conclusions from a brief and unverified moment.
