Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has sparked mixed reactions on social media following her brief exchange with colleague Toyosi Adesanya at the store launch of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo.
The event, which took place over the weekend at Chevron, Lekki, attracted several celebrities and guests who gathered to celebrate Priscilla’s latest business venture.
A video from the event, which has been circulating online, captured Funke Akindele exchanging pleasantries with Iyabo Ojo as they walked through the newly launched store.
However, when the two actresses approached Toyosi Adesanya and her husband, who stood up to greet the box-office star, Funke appeared to offer only a brief greeting before moving on.
In the viral clip, Funke was heard saying, “Sewapa, eku ojo meta,” during the exchange.
The brief interaction has generated different interpretations online, with some social media users suggesting that Funke was distracted by Iyabo, while others criticised her for allegedly failing to properly acknowledge Toyosi and her husband.
One commenter, Khay’s Place, wrote, “She even stood up with her husband, whom Funke totally ignored. Funke no try.”
Another user, Aderinsola Akanke, commented, “She was obviously distracted.”
Similarly, BGM Should Be Taking wrote, “Na Iyabo Ojo no let her concentrate.”
While some commenters viewed the interaction as disrespectful, others believed Funke may simply have been distracted while engaging with Iyabo.
The video has continued to generate conversations about the brief encounter, with social media users sharing different opinions about the actresses’ exchange at Priscilla Ojo’s store launch.
You need to see how Funke Akindele greeted Adesanya Toyosi. People are asking, how exactly did you expect her to greet her? One thing about Funke — she never pretends. Whether the camera is on or off, she doesn’t fake affection to please anyone. She is real to the core. You can call her name, drag her, do whatever, but she will always be who she is. No pretense. This short video carries a big lesson. If you claim to be an elder clamoring for peace, you must remain neutral. You cannot preach peace with your mouth and take sides with your actions when issues arise. True elders stand for fairness, not favoritism.
