Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham Spark Reactions After Awkward Moment at Movie Premiere

Nollywood stars Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have generated online reactions following an awkward moment at a recent movie premiere.

The incident reportedly happened during the premiere of The Return of Arinzo, a film produced by Iyabo Ojo. The event took place on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at Federal Palace Hotel, where several Nollywood celebrities were in attendance.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Toyin Abraham was seen approaching Funke Akindele and attempting to greet her while kneeling. However, Funke appeared not to respond warmly, which many viewers interpreted as a snub.

The clip has divided fans online. While some believe it was a clear snub, others think it may have been a misunderstanding caused by the busy and chaotic atmosphere usually seen at movie premieres.

Both actresses remain among Nollywood’s biggest box-office stars and are often compared because of their successful film franchises. However, neither Funke Akindele nor Toyin Abraham, as well as producer Iyabo Ojo, has officially reacted to the video at the time of this report. 🎬📱
