Rumors of a silent feud between Nollywood heavyweights Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have resurfaced, but this time, the narrative takes an unexpected twist. Their equally formidable colleague, Mercy Aigbe, has now been drawn into the mix, fueling speculations of an unfolding “trio rivalry.”
With the stakes higher than ever, these Nollywood queens are gearing up to release their most ambitious projects yet, all set to hit cinemas this December.
Social media has become their battleground, featuring meticulously curated posts, aggressive promotional campaigns, and star-studded premieres, all in a bid to claim the spotlight.
Funke Akindele’s highly anticipated Everybody Loves Jenifa is set for a glittering debut on December 13, 2024, the same day Mercy Aigbe’s gripping drama Thin Line will hit cinemas. Toyin Abraham’s much-awaited Alakada: Bad and Boujee follows on December 20, rounding off a month filled with excitement and intrigue.
Amidst the glitz and calculated moves, a TikTok user named Ada stirred controversy with her sharp observations.
In her now-viral video, Ada highlighted what she called a long-standing rivalry among the Nollywood powerhouses—a pattern of strategically timed December releases that seem to pit their projects against each other in a bid for dominance.
Ada asserted that Funke Akindele’s consistency, star power, and enduring legacy set her apart, a sentiment widely echoed by those who watched the clip.
