In the video, Funke and Toyin could be seen vibing to loud music, sharing laughter and warmth that suggested a strong bond.
This friendly moment has left many fans nostalgic, especially given the recent fallout between the two.
It will be recalled that the actresses had previously resolved their differences before the latest saga. However, tension flared again at Iyabo Ojo’s movie premiere on Sunday when Funke appeared to snub Toyin’s greeting.
A viral clip captured Toyin walking up to greet Funke, who was seated with Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe, but Funke ignored her, leaving Toyin visibly embarrassed.
Reacting to the incident, Toyin vowed never to greet Funke again, stating that if she ever did, she should be considered a “basstard.”
She also revealed that she had unfollowed Funke on social media. Interestingly, Funke later liked a blog post about Toyin’s pledge, sparking further speculation about the depth of their rift.

"Learn to leave people where they are. Not for spite, Not for resentment .but for your self respect. There are people you can only love and admire in a distance because you can never coexist in the same space. You like them but their spirit doesn't like you. And no matter how you try to be in their good books they can't just stand you. One moment you are friends the next minute you are trying to figure out what you did that made them act funny towards you. It's because they don't phhuck with you fully. You are forcing the vibe. At the end of the day No one is leaving this earth alive and no one gives you oxygen to exist. So leave people where they are."

Reason for Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham's fight
Legit.ng earlier reported that in December 2025, during the cinema run of their films Oversabi Aunty and Behind The Scenes, Toyin Abraham had accused Funke Akindele and her team of sabotaging her movie.
In a viral clip, Toyin alleged that Funke’s camp paid individuals to falsely claim that Oversabi Aunty was sold out, while continuing to promote Behind The Scenes.
She further claimed that cinemas deliberately scheduled her film at unfavourable early morning slots during the festive season, while Funke’s movie enjoyed prime screening times throughout the day.
