Nollywood stars Faithia Williams and Funke Akindele have finally silenced rumours of bad blood between them after sharing a warm and affectionate moment at Faithia’s 55th birthday party.
The actress marked her milestone birthday on Sunday with a private celebration attended by close friends and colleagues from the movie industry. Among the guests was Funke Akindele, whose presence instantly got fans talking.
In videos from the event, Faithia and Funke were seen hugging and exchanging kisses, a moment that quickly went viral and shut down claims of an ongoing feud.
Speculation had earlier trailed the duo after Faithia’s response to Funke’s birthday message was misinterpreted by some bloggers as a sign of tension. Addressing the rumours during an Instagram Live session, Faithia dismissed the claims, stressing that there was “no fight, no issue” between them and that Funke’s message was genuine.
The birthday reunion also reminded fans of their recent reconciliatory moments. In December, Faithia publicly thanked Funke for sending her a movie premiere invitation package, praising her generosity and consistency. On Christmas Day, the actresses also exchanged warm greetings online.
While the pair have been linked to past misunderstandings, their public display of affection at the birthday party appears to have put lingering doubts to rest, with many fans applauding the actresses for choosing peace over drama.
