Bovi Recreates Funke & Toyin’s Viral Snub at AMVCA, Toyin Bursts into Laughter

At the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, comedian Bovi Ugboma playfully recreated the viral moment when Funke Akindele snubbed Toyin Abraham at a film premiere. He brought Nomzamo Mbatha on stage and mimed the famous cold shoulder that had once set social media abuzz. The audience roared as Bovi’s skit mirrored the tense encounter between the two Nollywood stars. Later, Toyin approached him with a smile and admitted, “I knew you were going to crack that joke, but I’m not going to lie, that was funny.” This light-hearted moment comes amid ongoing tensions. After the original snub at The Return of Arinzo premiere in March, Funke and Toyin unfollowed each other online, and Iyabo Ojo even accused Toyin of breaking a peace agreement.
