Actress Toyin Abraham has once again stirred the pot of speculation regarding her alleged rivalry with colleague Funke Akindele. The actress’s recent move, coupled with past interactions, has reignited discussions surrounding their relationship dynamics.
Following the 10th edition of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA), held at Eko Hotel and Suites on May 11th, Toyin Abraham penned a note to Multichoice’s Executive Head, Bisola Tejumola, praising the event as the “best and realest.” While seemingly innocuous, her post sparked controversy, with many interpreting it as a subtle dig at Funke Akindele, who lost all her nominations. Criticism flooded Abraham’s comment section, prompting her to delete the post.
This incident adds fuel to the long-standing rivalry between Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele, who have both been prominent figures in Nollywood for years. Despite rumours of animosity, the duo appeared to reconcile last year, exchanging birthday wishes and attending each other’s events.
However, tensions resurfaced when Abraham teased her latest project, a sequel to her film “Alakada,” coincidentally announced shortly after Akindele revealed plans for a sequel to her hit movie “Jenifa.” This sequence of events led to speculation about a renewed rivalry between the two actresses.
Amidst the drama, Abraham’s support for fellow actress Kehinde Bankole’s AMVCA win garnered attention. Captured in a video hailing Bankole as the “best actress in Africa,” Abraham’s public display of affection towards Bankole sparked further debate online.
Despite the controversies, Abraham continues to show solidarity with Bankole, previously expressing pride in her achievements and offering encouragement during Bankole’s personal struggles shared on social media.
As discussions surrounding their relationship persist, fans remain divided over the true nature of Abraham and Akindele’s dynamic, with speculation rife amid their interactions both on and off-screen.
