Rumours of a rift between the pair had earlier surfaced after Faithia reacted to Funke’s birthday message to her.

However, Faithia later addressed the claims in a live video, firmly dismissing any conflict. She explained that Funke’s birthday wishes were genuine and that her response had been misunderstood by the public.

The actresses have been linked to minor controversies in the past, which have often made fans quick to assume tension between them.

Last Christmas, Faithia publicly sent her goodwill message to Funke, and Funke responded warmly, wishing her the best.

In early December, Faithia also shared a video of a package she received from Funke, which included an invitation to the premiere of Funke’s movie. Praising her colleague, Faithia stated that Funke never disappoints.

Although Faithia had previously called out Funke last year over an alleged Instagram block linked to industry loyalty issues, their recent interactions suggest that any past disagreements have been resolved.
