Social media users are sharing their thoughts on rumors surrounding a possible fallout between Funke Akindele and her protege, Tobi Makinde, also known as Timini.

According to online reports, Funke and Tobi are facing issues due to Tobi’s desire to explore other opportunities outside of Funke’s productions, which she apparently disapproves of.

To investigate the validity of these claims, Vistanaij Media, a media outlet, examined Tobi Makinde’s Instagram page and observed that Funke Akindele has not been engaging with his posts as she used to. Additionally, it was noted that Tobi was not mentioned in Funke Akindele’s shout-out during a premiere, and he is absent from promotional videos or skits for her latest movie, “A Tr!be Called Judah,” which Tobi directed. Instead, Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has been assisting Funke Akindele in promoting the film.

While some individuals expressed support for Tobi’s decision to explore other avenues, others pointed out that Juliana Olayode had previously taken similar steps but later reconciled with Funke Akindele.
