In a now-viral video, both actresses were seen engaged in private conversation, laughing and later dancing, signalling a refreshing end to long-standing rumours of rivalry.
The moment was met with applause online, with fans praising the stars for their maturity and the positive message their reunion sends to the entertainment industry.
The reunion follows Toyin Abraham’s heartfelt social media post, in which she admitted that their supposed feud was largely stoked by fan rivalry, rather than personal animosity.
“We were never truly enemies,” she wrote, “just two strong women in the same space, competing, yes—but never hating.”
Abraham also praised Akindele’s record-breaking success with A Tribe Called Judah, which remains one of Nigeria’s highest-grossing films, while reflecting on their early years in both Yoruba cinema and the broader Nollywood landscape.
The event’s host, skit maker Kiekie, playfully teased both actresses during the evening and later joined Funke Akindele on the dance floor in what fans have described as a “full-circle moment” for the industry.
