Nollywood actor Tobi Makinde has dismissed rumours suggesting a rift between him and actress-filmmaker Funke Akindele, clarifying that there is no conflict between them.
Speaking during an interview with BBC Pidgin, Makinde described the speculation as a creation of social media narratives rather than reality.
According to him, nothing unusual has occurred between the two, stressing that online platforms often fabricate stories and assign roles to individuals without factual basis.
He noted that his relationship with Akindele predates social media and cannot be defined—or dissolved—by online discussions.

Makinde added that personal and professional growth can sometimes be misinterpreted as distance or disagreement, when in reality, it reflects natural changes in life.
Addressing concerns over Akindele’s absence at his wedding in December, the actor explained that she was unavailable due to commitments on a film project at the time.
He also acknowledged her influence on his career, crediting her for playing a key role in his journey within the Nigerian film industry.
Rumours of a possible fallout had emerged after fans noticed Akindele’s absence at the ceremony, sparking speculation about a strained relationship between the two.
