Toyin Abraham has reacted after comedian Bovi Ugboma recreated her viral awkward encounter with Funke Akindele during the 2026 edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
While co-hosting the ceremony alongside Nomzamo Mbatha, Bovi performed a comedy skit inspired by the trending moment from the premiere of The Return of Arinze.
In the performance, Nomzamo played the role of Funke Akindele, while Bovi acted as Toyin Abraham during the humorous reenactment.
The joke entertained many guests at the event, including Toyin Abraham herself, who was later seen laughing and chatting with Bovi in a viral video.
According to Toyin, she already expected the comedian to turn the situation into a joke.
The original incident happened during the premiere of a movie by Iyabo Ojo, where Funke Akindele appeared to ignore Toyin Abraham’s greeting while seated alongside Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe.
The moment quickly went viral online, with many social media users describing it as awkward and embarrassing.
Following the incident, Toyin Abraham openly expressed her disappointment and stated that she would no longer greet Funke Akindele, adding that she had unfollowed her on social media.
