Leaked Audio Puts Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele Back in the Spotlight
The recording, which has circulated widely on X, reportedly captures a private conversation between Abraham and Bisgold, a TikTok fan. The audio is primarily in Yoruba and Pidgin and has prompted competing interpretations of the actress’s responses.
According to summaries and reactions circulating online, Bisgold repeatedly insults Akindele using derogatory Yoruba expressions. Abraham appears to listen and continue the conversation, laughing at certain points, but the available accounts do not establish that she directly joins in the insults.
Critics argue that Abraham did not clearly tell the fan to stop, while supporters maintain that listening to someone’s remarks does not necessarily mean agreeing with or endorsing them.
The conversation also reportedly touches on previous insults directed at actress Iyabo Ojo, which Abraham allegedly said continued to bother her. At another point, Abraham mentions a pregnancy loss, apparently shifting the conversation towards a personal experience.
Some online interpretations suggest Abraham agrees with certain statements made during the call, including remarks described as “otito,” meaning “truth” in Yoruba. However, the context and intended meaning of individual comments remain open to interpretation, and the recording should be assessed in full rather than through isolated excerpts.
How the Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele Feud Resurfaced
The leaked conversation has revived discussion of the reported tension between Abraham and Akindele, which attracted attention following an incident at the March 2026 premiere of Iyabo Ojo’s film, The Return of Arinzo.
A widely circulated clip from the event appeared to show Akindele not responding to Abraham’s greeting.
Following the incident, Abraham reportedly unfollowed Akindele on social media and said she would no longer greet her.
The relationship between the actresses had also attracted attention over Abraham’s cinema release, Oversabi Aunty, and allegations of sabotage surrounding the film. Ojo had previously been reported to have attempted to mediate between the two actresses.
The leaked audio has now added another layer to the controversy. Some critics argue that Abraham’s reaction during the private conversation complicates her account of the public encounter with Akindele.
Others maintain that the recording does not establish that Abraham deliberately participated in a campaign against her colleague.
Critics Accuse Abraham of Hypocrisy
Reactions on X have been sharply divided, with some users accusing Abraham of hypocrisy over her reported conduct during the call.
One post by @yorubahood1 described the episode as “pure hypocrisy,” arguing that Abraham appeared to entertain the fan’s insults and laugh during the conversation before later attempting to greet Akindele publicly.
The same commentary also criticised Bisgold for recording and leaking a private conversation, describing the disclosure as a betrayal of trust.
Other critics have interpreted the audio as evidence that the relationship between the actresses may be more complicated than their public interactions suggest.
However, such conclusions reflect the opinions of individual users. The recording, as described in the available accounts, does not by itself establish Abraham’s private intentions or prove that she deliberately encouraged the insults.

Supporters Say Toyin Abraham Did Not Insult Akindele
Abraham’s defenders have rejected the accusations, insisting that she did not directly insult Akindele during the conversation.
A related post by @Hybrid_Ola argued that Abraham “did not say anything bad” and criticised the level of attention being given to the recording.
Some supporters have also pointed out that Bisgold was responsible for the insults attributed to the fan and argued that Abraham should not automatically be held responsible for every statement made during a private conversation.
Other users have suggested that Abraham may have attempted to redirect the discussion by mentioning personal difficulties.
The debate has therefore centred not only on the words spoken but also on whether Abraham’s reactions amounted to encouragement, passive participation or simply listening to the other person.
Leaked Call Raises Questions About Celebrity Privacy
Beyond the dispute involving Abraham and Akindele, the controversy has renewed concerns about privacy in celebrity-fan relationships.
The recording illustrates how private conversations can become public controversies when one participant records and distributes the exchange online.
For celebrities who maintain direct contact with fans through TikTok, Instagram and other platforms, the episode highlights the risks associated with informal conversations that may later be shared without their consent.
The controversy also raises questions about how audiences interpret leaked material, particularly when it involves longstanding rivalries or unresolved disagreements between public figures.
While public figures can face scrutiny over their conduct, the circulation of private recordings can also complicate efforts to establish context and distinguish verified statements from online interpretations.
Toyin Abraham, Funke Akindele Yet to Respond Directly
In the reports cited for this article, neither Abraham nor Akindele had issued a direct public response to the specific leaked recording.
The audio continues to circulate on social media, with users drawing different conclusions about Abraham’s reactions, the fan’s remarks and the wider relationship between the actresses.
Until either actress provides further clarification, claims about their private intentions or the meaning of particular comments remain interpretations rather than established facts.
The controversy highlights the continuing influence of leaked recordings and online commentary on Nollywood celebrity relationships, particularly when new material revives earlier public disagreements.
