For years, the two stars had been rumored to be rivals, with industry watchers linking the alleged rift to competition for box office dominance and fan-fueled comparisons.
Those claims were dismissed over the weekend when Akindele and Abraham were spotted at the movie premiere of actress Wunmi Toriola and skit maker Kiekie. A viral clip from the event captured Akindele dancing before pausing to have a cheerful private chat with Abraham.
The exchange quickly drew playful banter from Kiekie, who teased the duo before joining Akindele on the dance floor, further fueling excitement among fans witnessing the interaction.
This is not the first time the actresses have sought to clarify their relationship. Earlier this year, Toyin Abraham penned a candid note to Funke Akindele, acknowledging that while online fan rivalry once escalated tensions between them, there had never been genuine hostility.
Their latest public display appears to confirm those sentiments, sending a strong message of camaraderie in an industry where competition is often misinterpreted as conflict.
