Funke Akindele and Iyabo Ojo Share Warm Reunion at Priscilla’s Store Launch

Nollywood actresses Funke Akindele and Iyabo Ojo have once again delighted fans with their warm friendship after sharing an affectionate moment at Priscilla Ojo’s store launch.

The actresses were among the guests at the event, where Priscilla, Iyabo’s daughter, officially opened her new walk-in store in Lekki, Lagos.

A video from the occasion captured the exciting moment the longtime friends reunited. Iyabo appeared to be playing hide-and-seek when Funke walked into the room.

Unable to contain her excitement, Iyabo immediately rushed towards the filmmaker, and the two actresses exchanged a warm embrace. Their joyful reaction has since attracted attention online, with fans expressing admiration for their friendship.

Several social media users also commented on how comfortable and genuine the actresses appeared around each other.

The latest reunion comes after several public displays of affection between the actresses, who have maintained a close relationship since resolving their differences.

In April, Funke also celebrated Iyabo following the success of her movie. She described the achievement as well deserved and wished her colleague more accomplishments in the entertainment industry.

Their friendship has continued to reflect in their public support for each other’s personal and professional milestones.

Last year, Iyabo also showed strong support for Funke’s movie, Behind The Scenes. Having featured in the production, she promoted the film extensively and shared pictures of herself and Funke together in the United Kingdom.

Funke, in turn, appreciated her colleague for the support and affectionately described her as her best friend. She also praised Iyabo’s talent, confidence, fashion sense and dedication to her craft in a Woman Crush Wednesday tribute.

Their friendship has an interesting history, as the actresses were previously involved in a disagreement that kept them apart for years.

Their differences reportedly followed a dispute involving comments about Toyin Abraham’s movie, The Ghost and the Tout.

However, they eventually put their differences behind them and publicly embraced at the eighth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards in 2022.

Since then, Funke and Iyabo have continued to maintain a close bond, with their latest appearance together providing another glimpse into their friendship.
