Taking to her comment section, Iyabo appreciated her for the support.

In December, Iyabo and Funke had attended skitmaker, Kamo State’s wedding. The two, were the center of attention as they served friendship goals. In one of the viral clips that made rounds online, Iyabo was captured standing to greet Funke as she walked into the venue and sat beside her. In another video, the beautiful ladies were captured on the face floor as they showed off their dance skills, chit-chat, and hugged.
Last year, Iyabo penned a note to Funke Akindele as she marked her 47th birthday in August. She expressed how proud she was of the person Funke had become and all she had achieved, as she noted how through the ups and downs of life, Funke kept winning.
Recall that Funke Akindele and Iyabo once fell out and were at loggerheads for years now, after Iyabo dragged Funke when a blogger criticised Toyin Abraham’s movie, The Ghost and The Tout. However, Iyabo Ojo and Funke Akindele put their beef aside by embracing and exchanging pecks at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award season 8 in 2022.
When Funke turned 45 that year, Iyabo had showered love on her. She prayed for more blessings and more wins for her.
When Iyabo also turned 45 that same year, Funke celebrated the boss lady with prayers. She had had even stormed her birthday party and the two were seen in viral videos hugging and chatting.
Funke Akindele, in an interview, recounted how Iyabo Ojo and Sikiratu Sindodo helped her up the ladder and fought for her during her early career days. According to her, she was being stereotyped because of her physical appearance which many considered ‘ugly’. This led to her breaking down on one of her movie sets and Iyabo and Sikiratu stood up for her.
