Netizens react to rumored fallout between Funke Akindele and her protege, Tobi Makinde
Social media users are reacting to an alleged report that Funke Akindele and her protege, Tobi Makinde better known as Timini.
According to reports online, Funke and Tobi are having issues because Tobi wants to explore other fields but Funke doesn’t want him to work for other productions except hers.
To verify the news, Kemi Filani did a check on Tobi Makinde’s Instagram page and noticed that Funke Akindele hasn’t been liking or commenting on his posts like she used to.
Netizens even noticed that she omitted him when giving a shout-out at her premiere and he isn’t in any promotional video or skit for Funke Akindele’s new movie, A Tr!be Called Judah, rather Juliana Olayode has been the one helping the box office Queen promote her new project, which Tobi Makinde directed.
While others supported Tobi from moving away from her, others reminded that his colleague, Juliana Olayode popularly known as Toyo Baby took such steps but returned to the actress.
