Drama Unfolds: Funke Akindele and Faithia Williams Cut Social Media Ties

Popular Nollywood actresses Funke Akindele and Faithia Williams have stirred up rumors of rift after unfollowing each other on Instagram.

The two stars, once regarded as close colleagues who frequently supported each other’s work, appear to have hit a rough patch. Reports suggest the fallout began when Faithia failed to attend Akindele’s recent movie premiere but was spotted at Mercy Aigbe’s event instead.

Insiders claim Faithia’s absence may have been intentional, allegedly in response to Akindele skipping her father’s burial despite being invited.

Following this, Funke Akindele unfollowed Faithia Williams on Instagram, and a quick check revealed that both actresses have since severed their social media connection.

Fans and industry watchers are speculating about the reasons behind the apparent feud, though neither actress has publicly addressed the situation.
