A star-studded store opening in Lagos has sparked conversations online after a video showing Nollywood actresses Funke Akindele and Iyabo Ojo crossing paths at the event went viral on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The event was the grand opening of a new store owned by Priscilla Ojo, Iyabo Ojo’s daughter. Her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, was also present alongside several celebrities, including actress Mercy Aigbe, her son Juwon, former BBNaija housemate Dede, content creator Enioluwa, Mohbad wife Wunmi, and fashion designer Veekee James.
In a video circulating online, Iyabo Ojo appeared excited as Funke Akindele arrived at the venue. The two actresses exchanged warm greetings in front of other guests, drawing attention from those present.
However, another moment from the event generated even more reactions on social media. A separate clip showed Funke Akindele interacting with fellow actress Toyosi Adesanya, who reportedly stood up alongside her husband to welcome her.
Following the circulation of the footage, some social media users accused Funke of ignoring the 51-year-old Toyosi Adesanya despite the actress making an effort to welcome her.
The incident has since sparked conversations about celebrity relationships, social etiquette and interactions among colleagues in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
