Toyin Abraham, the Nigerian actress, has finally spoken out following an embarrassing encounter with her colleague Funke Akindele at a movie premiere in Lagos. The incident occurred on Sunday during the premiere of ‘The Return of Arinzo,’ a film produced by Iyabo Ojo. In now-viral footage, Abraham is seen approaching Akindele’s table to offer a greeting. However, Akindele appeared to ignore the gesture, keeping her eyes fixed elsewhere. Abraham then turned to greet Ojo before walking away. The clip sparked a flurry of reactions online. Many of Abraham’s fans criticised Akindele’s behaviour, calling it “disrespectful” and “childish”. Others, however, suggested that Abraham should not have extended a greeting if the two were not on good terms. Kolawole Ajewole, Abraham’s husband, also showed support for his wife in the aftermath. Amid the debate, an X user named Oscar Yankee expressed disappointment over the incident, saying Abraham had put her own fans in an awkward position by trying to force a greeting. The user advised the actress to avoid such situations in the future. “Dear Mummy Ire @toyin_abraham1 Edakun nii tori olorun we ur fans aren’t happy with what happened yesterday 😪 Efi Kiki le fuun Eni tor deserve e please 🙏 Respect is Reciprocal .. Ema fii oju wa gbo ile beyen mor .We love ❤️ u Always ma’am keep Shining,” the user wrote. In response, Abraham issued a public apology to the fan and vowed it would not happen again.
