Legit.ng earlier reported that months after her awkward encounter with Funke Akindele became one of the biggest talking points in Nollywood, actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has again shared where she stands on the matter.
The actress, who previously vowed never to greet her colleague again after an incident at a movie premiere, now says she would rather leave the issue in the past.
Speaking during an appearance on the Morayo Afolabi Brown Show, Toyin reflected on the controversy while also revealing how public criticism has changed her over the years.
Toyin disclosed that she has developed a thick skin against criticism and online attacks.
According to the actress, there is little anyone can say today that would genuinely hurt her feelings.
She stated:
"There is nothing anyone would say that will get to me anymore."
She explained that whenever she chooses to reply to critics, it is no longer out of anger.
She said:
"If I respond to you, it's because I am just having fun with you. I want to play with you."
When asked about her widely publicised disagreement with Funke Akindele, Toyin chose not to revisit the details.
Instead, she made it clear that she has no interest in reopening old wounds.
She responded, "I don't want to talk about it because I don't like talking about my past."
Toyin also spoke about another issue she has constantly faced throughout her career.
The actress appealed to fans and the public to stop comparing her with other actresses.
According to her, she simply wants to build her own legacy.
She added: "I don't like it when they pitch me with anyone. I just want to be me, Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi."
The latest interview came months after a video from Iyabo Ojo's movie premiere circulated online.
In the clip, Toyin approached Funke Akindele, Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe to exchange greetings.
Many viewers believed Funke ignored Toyin's greeting, leading to intense debates across social media.
Following the incident, Toyin publicly declared that she would never greet Funke again and revealed that she had unfollowed her colleague on social media.
