Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has addressed the recent public disagreement between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham, explaining past misunderstandings and urging fans to respect both actresses’ privacy.
She emphasised that she would no longer intervene in their issues.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Iyabo wrote: “For those of you maligning my character, insulting me, and calling me unprintable names, this is for you!!
”Now, I need to set the record straight. This is the first and last time I will be talking about anything like this.”
She detailed her previous efforts to mediate between the two stars, saying: “Funke and I have been friends for the longest, but there were times we fell out, fault on both sides.
”I once came online to drag Funke because of Toyin’s movie. That was a wrong move on my part, I should have handled it better.
”Funke and I later made up, and we addressed all our issues and put them behind us.
”I tried my very best to settle both of them, cried, knelt down, begged both parties to embrace peace which they both later did.”
Iyabo added that a recent misunderstanding reignited tensions but made clear she would no longer intervene.
“Honestly, all this saddened me because the sky is big enough for all. I have tried my best, but at this point, I can’t beg anyone anymore.
”I honestly don’t want to get involved anymore. Please, you all should respect that when both parties are ready, they will make peace. I love them both regardless, ” she added.
Her statement followed a viral video from a recent movie premiere in which Funke Akindele appeared not to respond to Toyin Abraham’s greeting, sparking online speculation.
Iyabo’s post clarifies her role in the situation and calls on fans to allow the actresses to resolve their differences privately.
