Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi, has debunked the rumour of not being on good terms with a colleague, Funke Akindele Bello.
The ace actress, in an interview with a radio station, revealed that although she can’t be friends with everyone, she is not in any kind of rivalry with Funke.
Recall that prior to the release of Toyin’s new movie, ‘Ghost and the Tout 2’, rumours were speculated that the actresses are not on good terms because Funke also released her movie on Netflix same day.
A blogger even slammed Toyin’s movie calling it trash and a waste of time, and advised that people should sit down at home to watch Funke’s movie instead on Netflix.
This further confirmed the news of a possible beef between the actresses.
However, Toyin has debunked that. She revealed that she greets Funke whenever she sees her.
She said, “She is my senior colleague and she is someone I respect a lot; so, I do not know what people are talking about, trust me. She is one of the few people I look up to.
“Sometimes, people do not understand that we are colleagues and not family. So, you cannot be talking to all your colleagues. We talk, we follow each other.
“If I see her, I will kneel down and say, ‘Aunty Funke se wa okay,’ (Aunty Funke, is everything ok?).
“A lot of people do not understand that we are working in the same space; we do not have to be close friends. When we see ourselves we greet each other. Forget social media, trust me.”
