Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo has fiercely defended her colleague Funke Akindele against a fan who labelled the actress “too proud” in the wake of her public snub of Toyin Abraham at Iyabo Ojo’s movie premiere. Biodun did not mince words when she told the fan he was the real problem and warned him never to make such comments on her page again.
Biodun had earlier posted a video on her Instagram page addressing the ongoing tension between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham. In the clip, she urged peace and reflection.
“Life is vanity. Life is too fickle. Let’s do right. God help us.”
A fan quickly responded in the comment section with a pointed jab at Funke Akindele.“
Righttt, let Funke Akindele know, proud fellow.”
Biodun Okeowo reacted immediately and sharply.
“Excuse me! Never comment like that on my page again. You fans are the major problem. What annoying comment is this? You trouble causing fiends.”
Her strong reply has drawn significant attention online, with many interpreting it as a clear show of support for Funke Akindele amid the recent drama. The exchange stems from the viral moment at the premiere of Iyabo Ojo’s The Return of Arinzo, where Toyin Abraham greeted Funke Akindele but received no response.
