Toyin Abraham Faces Backlash After Leaked Call Discussing Funke Akindele

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has come under scrutiny on social media following the circulation of an alleged private phone conversation in which a TikTok user reportedly made disparaging remarks about fellow actress Funke Akindele.

The approximately 12-minute audio, which reportedly began circulating online around October 14 and 15, 2026, features a conversation between Toyin and a fan identified as Bisgold.

The recording has sparked debate among social media users, with some criticising Toyin over her response to the comments about Akindele, while others have urged the public to listen to the conversation in full before drawing conclusions about her position.

The controversy has also revived discussions about the reported strained relationship between the two Nollywood stars.

In March 2026, a video from the premiere of Iyabo Ojo’s film, The Return of Arinzo, circulated online showing Toyin greeting Akindele, who appeared not to respond. The incident generated speculation about their relationship, with reports subsequently claiming that Toyin unfollowed Akindele on social media and said she would no longer greet her.

There have also been claims of tension surrounding Toyin’s cinema project, Oversabi Aunty, although allegations of sabotage have not been established by the information provided.

Reactions to the leaked recording remain divided. While some users have questioned Toyin’s handling of the conversation, others argue that the full context of the exchange should be considered before assigning blame.

As of the time of this report, Toyin had not publicly issued a detailed response to the leaked audio, based on the information available.

The circumstances surrounding the recording, including how the private conversation became public, remain unclear. The discussion has nevertheless brought renewed attention to the relationship between the two actresses, who remain prominent figures in Nigeria’s film industry.
