Inside Nollywood Drama: Tobi Makinde Opens Up On Reported Feud With Funke Akindele

He made this known in a recent interview with BBC, where he dismissed the speculation circulating on social media.

According to him, there has been no disagreement between both of them, and he is unsure where the rumours originated.

Makinde explained that social media often fuels false narratives, with people creating stories and assigning real individuals to them without evidence.

He stressed that his relationship with Akindele goes beyond what is seen online, noting that their bond was not formed on social media and cannot be defined by online perceptions.

He also reflected on how personal growth and life changes can sometimes create the impression that relationships have faded, even when no actual conflict exists.

Makinde added that as people evolve and move through different stages of life, some relationships may appear distant, but that does not mean they are broken or ended.

He said, “Nothing really happened between me and Madam Funke, and I’m not aware of any fallout. Social media likes to construct stories. They write their own script and then start looking for people to fit into the roles. Our relationship didn’t start on social media, and it won’t end there. Sometimes, as you grow and move from one level to another, some relationships may look like they’re lost in transit, but that’s not really the case.”
