Nollywood actress Fathia Balogun has dismissed rumors of a rift with fellow actress Funke Akindele, calling out bloggers for spreading false narratives online.
The speculation arose after Fathia celebrated her birthday on February 5, when Funke sent her a congratulatory message. Fathia responded politely with “Ose Iya Ibeji” in Yoruba.
A blogger later suggested the interaction seemed awkward, sparking rumors of tension between the two actresses.
During a live video, Fathia clarified that there was no conflict between them. She explained that bloggers were twisting events to create drama and warned them against interfering in her personal and professional relationships.
She affirmed that Funke’s birthday message was genuine and her reply was friendly:
“I am not at war with Funke Akindele. There is no bad blood between us. Bloggers are twisting things just to create drama and get attention. Funke’s message was genuine, and my reply was friendly. People are misunderstanding it. I am asking bloggers to stop interfering in my personal and professional relationships. There is no reason to spread false stories.”
The two actresses have previously been linked to minor social media controversies, but Fathia emphasized that their relationship remains cordial.
