A few days ago, she had declared Iyabo her Woman Crush Wednesday. She praised the actress 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.
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.
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.
In May, Funke had accompanied Iyabo to Tanzania for the wedding finale of her daughter, Priscilla.
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 new feat. Funke told Iyabo it was her turn to shine and admonished her to break boundaries.
