Veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known as Ogogo, has publicly rebuked Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham for airing their differences in the open. His remarks followed a viral video from the premiere of The Return of Arinzo, an event hosted by fellow actress Iyabo Ojo in Lagos. The footage appeared to show a snub between the two top actresses, sparking widespread discussion across social media platforms. Ogogo questioned their judgment, stating that both women have achieved significant success and should know better than to engage in public displays of discord. "They don't have sense," he said, expressing disappointment over the incident. He emphasized that seasoned professionals should resolve disagreements privately, not in ways that invite public scrutiny and ridicule.
Ogogo's blunt criticism cuts through the noise of celebrity drama because he speaks as one of the few remaining elders in an industry that no longer listens. His remark about Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham lacking sense isn't just about etiquette—it reflects a broader shift in Nollywood, where personal brand often outweighs professional decorum. When stars of their stature turn disputes into spectacles, it signals that reputation management has replaced respect. This isn't gossip; it's a sign of how fame is redefining accountability in Nigerian entertainment.
