A viral clip from actress Iyabo Ojo's The Return of Arinzo premiere shows Funke Akindele appearing to ignore Toyin Abraham's greeting, reigniting their long-standing Nollywood rivalry.

The incident has stirred reactions across the Nollywood industry and social media.

The event attracted several top stars in the industry. Actress Toyin Abraham reportedly arrived shortly before the screening commenced and greeted colleagues at her table, which included Funke Akindele. Despite the gesture, Funke appeared to ignore the greeting, keeping a poised but cold expression.

Abraham then moved to exchange pleasantries with Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe, who responded warmly.

Immediately after the event, tensions appeared to escalate online. Toyin Abraham reportedly unfollowed Funke Akindele on Instagram and expressed her dissatisfaction, stating she would no longer extend any further pleasantries to her colleague following the incident. ‎

In a comment that has been deleted, Abraham wrote, "I have unfollowed her; God forbid a bad thing. If I ever greet her again, that means I am a bastard.”

In a reciprocal move, Akindele also unfollowed Toyin Abraham, intensifying rumours that the long-standing friction between the two actresses has resurfaced.

The now-viral moment between the duo adds to the growing conversation about their relationship.

The alleged feud between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham stems from long-term industry competition, fuelled by fans and gossip.

Online discourse surrounding the event has been divided. While some observers have criticised Akindele for what they see as a public display of disrespect toward a colleague. Others have defended her right to personal boundaries, arguing that forced cordiality serves no one. Abraham, for her part, has been widely praised for how gracefully she handled the situation.
