Nollywood fans woke up to a pleasant surprise after actress Faithia Williams openly celebrated and promoted Funke Akindele’s new movie, Behind the Scene.
It marked what appears to be a major reconciliation between the two stars.
Faithia and Funke’s relationship took a rough turn in 2024 when Faithia accused Funke of blocking her on Instagram.

The Yoruba film star had claimed that Funke cut her off online simply because she supported Mercy Aigbe and her movie project at the time.
Faithia made it known then that she wasn’t bothered by Funke’s move, insisting she wasn’t “her God” and therefore couldn’t dictate who she associated with.
In a new video shared on her Instagram page, Faithia, whose son recently graduated, revealed a beautifully packaged invitation sent by Funke Akindele for the premiere of her upcoming blockbuster, Behind the Scene.
The event is scheduled for December 7, 2025, with the movie hitting cinemas on December 12.
Smiling as she unboxed the package, Faithia sounded genuinely excited.
She captioned the post:
“December is here again, and you know what that means! Behind the Scenes by Funkejenifaakindele is premiering on December 7th, 2025. Catch it at the cinemas starting from December 12th! You already know it’s gonna be a blockbuster. Funkejenifaakindele never disappoints! Get ready to be thrilled!”
Responding, Funke wrote under the comment:
"Aunty mi. E se gan ma. God bless you. See you soon."
