Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola is singing the praises of her senior colleague Funke Akindele.
Taking to her Instagram page to celebrate the filmmaker for hitting over a billion Naira in her cinema movie, Wumi called her a Woman King. She stated that she is celebrating the hard work, consistency, grace, and resilience in Funke.
“I celebrate hard work, consistency, Grace, and Resilience.
All hail the woman king @funkejenifaakindele”.
Her post is coming less than a week after her ex-friends, Toyin Abraham, and Seyi Edun, reconciled. Kemi Filani reported that Seyi had extended an olive branch to her Toyin by promoting her new movie, Bhad and Boujee. The mother of twins had shown support for the mother of one at the Cinema, where she urged her fans to come watch the movie with her.
Surprisingly, Toyin expressed gratitude to her for the support as she commented on her post with, “Thanks love.”
Refreshing your memory, Wumi was once best friend with Seyi after Seyi snatched Adeniyi Johnson from Toyin. However, their relationship went sour, and both parties went their separate ways.
In 2020, Wumi called out Seyi Edun for not celebrating her son’s birthday but had the guts to send him money. She went as far as mocking Seyi over her inability to have a child for her husband. Interestingly, Wumi went on to pitch tent with Toyin after the fallout.
In 2023, Wumi and Toyin fell out allegedly over Funke Akindele’s Battle on Buka Street. According to reports, Wumi was upset when Toyin failed to cast her in her movie, Ijakumo. Toyin had put a call through to Wumi to set things straight but Wumi had hurled insults at her, which led Toyin to unfollow her on Instagram. As such, Wumi had pitched tent with Toyin’s rival, Funke Akindele by starring in her movie.
