"So dis is wat we call being real? Mchew u must b a comedian! Ignoring someone that wants to greet u as a public figure is senselessness. Greet and pass is nt a big deal, if she continues like that she wouldn't greet iyabo too, do u think best friend exist? Fake people everywhere"
@kunlad02 countered:
"Why did you cut the video because iyabo was trying to let funke talk to toyosi, check she is pointing at her before the video was cut"
@Lordkashmoney added:
"She even stood up with her husband whom funke totally ignore, funke no try atal"
@bae_lovei disagreed:
"But she greeted her naw, do you want her to jump or what. She said she sewapa, eku ojo meta, what else. Nawa oo"
@BashorunKunle sided with Funke:
"But Funke greeted her nau. 'She said, se e wa pa?'"
@RichardGal23897 appeared unbothered:
"I no even see the adesanya all this oju aye no reach inside fear people"
@maybatch300 kept it simple:
"She's always been close to iyabo"
