Nollywood actor Kolawole Ajeyemi has stepped into the spotlight following the viral snub involving his wife Toyin Abraham and colleague Funke Akindele.

The controversy began during a high-profile movie premiere where Toyin attempted to greet Funke in a now widely circulated video.

Funke, however, appeared to deliberately ignore the greeting, turning away and leaving Toyin in an awkward situation.

Toyin briefly composed herself and proceeded to greet Iyabo Ojo and other guests before exiting the scene.

The moment quickly sparked reactions online, with fans dissecting every detail of the encounter.

Amid the backlash, Ajeyemi took to Instagram to publicly support his wife.

In his message, he praised Toyin’s patience and emotional restraint.

“I know you want to talk but… be patient,” he wrote, a statement many interpreted as advising silence despite provocation.

His comment has since stirred further debate, with some praising his calm approach while others criticised it.

Toyin responded warmly, expressing love and loyalty to her husband.

She described him affectionately and promised to always listen to his guidance.

The underlying cause of the tension between Toyin and Funke remains unclear.

However, reports suggest that the rivalry between the two actresses dates back several years.

In 2024, Toyin had addressed rumours that fueled unhealthy competition between them.

Following the latest incident, both actresses unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The move has only intensified speculation that their feud has reached a new level.

Observers believe the situation may escalate further if not addressed directly.
