Veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has refused to get involved in the escalating tension between actresses Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham. Speaking in an interview with Feel Right TV, Ogogo stated he has no intention of mediating the situation despite his long-standing relationships with both stars. The latest rift became public after Funke Akindele reportedly ignored Toyin Abraham at Iyabo Ojo's movie premiere on Sunday. Eyewitnesses said the atmosphere turned awkward when Akindele walked past Abraham without acknowledgment. The incident has sparked widespread discussion across social media, with fans divided over who was at fault. Neither Akindele nor Abraham has issued a formal statement, but the cold exchange has reignited debates about rivalries in Nollywood's top tier. Ogogo emphasized that such matters are personal and should be handled privately. He urged the public to allow the actresses to resolve their differences without outside pressure.
Ogogo's refusal to step into the Akindele-Abraham drama reflects a growing trend in Nollywood where older stars stay clear of public feuds, knowing how quickly social media amplifies tension. With Afrobeats and Nollywood constantly shaping Nigeria's global image, unnecessary drama risks overshadowing creative progress. Let the queens handle their business—Nollywood has survived bigger egos.
