A video capturing an interaction or lack of one between Tobi Makinde and Funke Akindele at a recent event has surfaced online, stirring conversations among fans.
Funke Akindele was spotted walking the red carpet at Timini’s movie premiere, while Tobi Makinde also attended the event alongside his wife. The clip quickly gained attention, with social media users sharing mixed reactions about the state of their relationship.
The two actors built a strong working relationship after starring together in Jenifa’s Diary, where Makinde played Akindele’s personal assistant.
In a past 2024 interview, Makinde spoke highly of Akindele, describing her as a mentor and someone he looks up to in the industry. However, the resurfaced video has made some fans question whether their bond is still as strong as before.
In the clip, both stars were seen standing just a few feet apart but did not exchange greetings. At one point, Akindele appeared to glance in Makinde’s direction, yet there was no visible interaction between them.
Speculation about a possible fallout reportedly began months earlier when Akindele promoted her project Behind the Scenes and Makinde did not publicly support it online. Questions also grew after Makinde’s recent wedding, which Akindele neither attended nor publicly acknowledged.
Reactions to the video have been divided. While some fans believe they may have greeted each other privately off-camera, others feel the lack of public interaction could suggest tension between them. Meanwhile, some observers maintain that not posting about each other online does not necessarily mean their relationship has changed.
