Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele is appreciating her friend and colleague, Iyabo Ojo.
Kemi Filani reported that Iyabo is one of the cast of Funke’s forthcoming Cinema movie, Behind The Scenes.
Taking to her Instagram page, she had shared photos of herself and Funke twinning in the UK as she heavily promoted the movie.
“Thank you, UK 🇬🇧
Bts will start showing in cinemas nationwide from the 12th of December”.
Taking to her comment section, Funke appreciated her for the support.
“God bless you boo”, she wrote
Just a day back, while sharing adorable photos of herself and Iyabo, Akindele described Ojo as her best friend and revealed that they were ready for any party in London.
Recall that Funke Akindele and Iyabo fell out and were at loggerheads for years, after Iyabo dragged Funke when a blogger criticised Toyin Abraham’s movie, The Ghost and The Tout.
In 2022, the two put their beef aside by embracing and exchanging pecks at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award season 8.
Since their reconciliation, the two have struck a close relationship and have been supportive of each other’s milestone.
She had declared Iyabo her Woman Crush Wednesday, praising her for her craft, describing her as beautiful, stylish, and elegant. The filmmaker said Iyabo’s talent, confidence, and passion always shine through every role she plays.
When Iyabo premiered her movie, Labake Olododo, Funke had given it her stamp of approval. Also, at the movie premiere, she had commended Iyabo. She praised the actress for the movie’s aesthetics, visuals and all and congratulated her on her feat. Funke told Iyabo it was her turn to shine and admonished her to break boundaries.
Funke, in an interview, recounted how Iyabo and Sikiratu Sindodo helped her up the ladder and fought for her during her early career days. According to her, she was being stereotyped because of her physical appearance which many considered ‘ugly’. This led to her breaking down on one of her movie sets and Iyabo and Sikiratu stood up for her.
In June, Funke gifted Iyabo Ojo a brand new iPhone 16. Iyabo made the news known on her Instagram page, revealing that the actress kept to her promise of changing her Samsung phone.
