Toyin Abraham, the Nigerian actress, has finally spoken out following an embarrassing encounter with her colleague Funke Akindele at a movie premiere in Lagos.
The incident occurred on Sunday during the premiere of ‘The
Return of Arinzo,’ a film produced by Iyabo Ojo.
In now-viral footage, Abraham is seen approaching Akindele’s
table to offer a greeting.
However, Akindele appeared to ignore the gesture, keeping
her eyes fixed elsewhere. Abraham then turned to greet Ojo before walking away.
The clip sparked a flurry of reactions online. Many of
Abraham’s fans criticised Akindele’s behaviour, calling it “disrespectful” and
“childish”.
Others, however, suggested that Abraham should not have
extended a greeting if the two were not on good terms.
Kolawole Ajewole, Abraham’s husband, also showed support for
his wife in the aftermath.
Amid the debate, an X user named Oscar Yankee expressed
disappointment over the incident, saying Abraham had put her own fans in an
awkward position by trying to force a greeting.
The user advised the actress to avoid such situations in the
future.
“Dear Mummy Ire @toyin_abraham1 Edakun nii tori olorun we ur
fans aren’t happy with what happened yesterday 😪 Efi Kiki le fuun Eni
tor deserve e please 🙏 Respect is Reciprocal
.. Ema fii oju wa gbo ile beyen mor .We love ❤️ u Always ma’am keep Shining,”
the user wrote.
In response, Abraham issued a public apology to the fan and
vowed it would not happen again.
Emabinu simi, iru e ko tu ni somo lowo mi mo, I love you all🙏❤️ https://t.co/HaaqsrGvly
