Allegations of behind-the-scenes politics in Nollywood have surfaced, implicating Funke Akindele in pressuring media mogul Mo Abudu to decast Toyin Abraham from a movie role.
According to a report by Instagram blogger Cutie Julls, Funke allegedly influenced Mo Abudu’s decision to replace Toyin Abraham with Kate Henshaw in the film “Chief Daddy.”
Cutie Julls claimed that Funke’s actions stemmed from personal issues between her and Toyin Abraham, resulting in tension between Funke and Mo Abudu. The blogger further alleged that Funke attempted a similar tactic with actress Beverly Osu but was thwarted by the intervention of Joke Silva.
Social media users reacted to the revelations with a mix of disbelief and commentary on the perceived power dynamics within the industry. Some expressed support for Toyin Abraham and criticized Funke’s alleged interference in casting decisions.
The allegations shed light on the longstanding rivalry between Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele, which appeared to have been resolved last year when both actresses publicly acknowledged each other’s achievements. However, recent events have reignited speculation about tensions between the two stars.
Despite the controversy, Toyin Abraham’s recent open letter to Funke Akindele and Funke’s positive response seemed to indicate a thaw in their relationship. However, the emergence of these allegations has once again cast a shadow over their reconciliation.
As the drama unfolds, fans and industry observers are left to ponder the complexities of relationships within Nollywood and the impact of personal conflicts on professional decisions.
