Nollywood actress Funke Akindele and Tobi Makinde, who played her personal assistant in Jenifa’s Diary, have come under scrutiny over a viral video of them at an event.

In a 2024 interview, Makinde described Akindele as his mentor and said he aspired to be like her.
However, that narrative now appears to be in question after a video of the two surfaced at Timini’s film premiere.
In the clip, they were seen standing a few feet apart but did not exchange pleasantries. At some point, Akindele appeared to look in Makinde’s direction, yet there was no visible interaction between them.
How Funke Akindele, Makinde's alleged rift started
Speculation about a possible fallout began a few months ago when Akindele was promoting her project Behind the Scenes, and Makinde did not publicly promote it online.
Similarly, during Makinde’s wedding a few weeks ago, Akindele was not in attendance and did not share a public congratulatory message.

Since then, fans have questioned whether all is well between them, wondering what might have gone wrong in what once appeared to be a close professional relationship.

Fans of the two movie stars were divided over the video. Some suggested they might have greeted each other off camera when no one was watching.
Others noted that not sharing promotional materials online does not necessarily mean they are no longer on good terms.
However, some insisted that the lack of public interaction points to a possible strain in their relationship and questioned what could have happened between them.
