Akindele Endorses Faithia Williams New Project Following Rift Rumours

Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has publicly endorsed Faithia Williams’ upcoming cinematic release, Efunroye (The Unicorn), scheduled for a May 1, 2026, debut.

In a social media post showcasing the movie invitation, Akindele urged moviegoers to support the project. She also offered marketing suggestions to Williams, jokingly telling her to increase her social media presence through singing and dancing to drive engagement.

“Congratulations Aunty @faithiawilliams on your amazing movie EFUNROYE (The Unicorn) hitting cinemas nationwide from May 1st, 2026! This is a must-watch for everyone,” Akindele stated.

Williams responded to the advice with humour, asking: “Thanks, my darling Iya Ibeji. The dance wey I do never reach”

The interaction clarifies the status of the duo’s relationship following widespread social media speculation about a potential rift. The rumours gained traction after a perceived snub involving a birthday message, but both actresses have since dismissed the claims through various public appearances, including Williams’ 55th birthday event.
