Celebrities from Nollywood, entertainers, and fans of the celebrated actress Funke Akindele turned out in force to show their support for the box office darling.
On Wednesday night, in celebration of her milestone achievement of grossing over a billion in Cinemas, an event was held to celebrate the queen which was tagged A Toast To Funke Akindele.
The event which was in collaboration with an automobile company, GAC Motor Nigeria and FilmOne entertainment hosted the likes of Iyabo Ojo, Eniola Ajao, Sola Sobowale, Taaooma, Bisola Aiyeola, Groovy, Timini, Diadem, Adunni Ade, Yvonne Jegede, Simi Drey, Kehinde Bankole, Omowunmi Dada, the cast of A Tr!be Called Judah and more.
Videos online captured the moments celebrities arrived at the event in their stunning outfits. From the look of it, there is no doubt that they all enjoyed their time honoring the Queen of Box Office.
Speaking of Iyabo Ojo, it wasn’t surprising to see her at the event as she and Funke Akindele have reconciled after years of beefing.
Recall that Funke Akindele and Iyabo once fell out and were at loggerheads for years now, after Iyabo dragged Funke when a blogger criticised Toyin Abraham’s movie, The Ghost and The Tout.
Also, on the 9th of December 2021 when Eniola Badmus celebrated her 20 years in Nollywood, and Funke Akindele didn’t show up, Iyabo Ojo threw a subtle shade at her.
There were speculations that Funke Akindele shunned the event to avoid any drama with Iyabo Ojo and Toyin Abraham following their long-time beef.
