Linda Ikeji might be heading to the court as the
management company of actress, Funke Akindele, has
condemned in strong terms an unwarranted post by
blogger, Linda Ikeji, ascribing a harmless picture on
Akindele’s Instagram’s page to be a mockery of her
alleged separation between her colleague, Toyin
Aimakhu and her ex-husband, Adeniyi Johnson. See the
post and the legal papers below:
Linda posted the message below on her blog on Sunday,
25, January, 2015.
"Did Funke Akindele shade Toyin Aimakhu last night?"
Something happened last night but I was too tired to
write it …and then I woke up this morning and almost
forgot about it. *sigh*. I may be reaching and Funke
may not have been referring to Toyin but let me tell you
what happened and you decide for yourself.
It’s not news that Toyin Aimakhu and Funke Akindele
don’t see eye to eye. If you Google, you will find a few
posts of reports of the two actresses beefing each
other. In fact, sometime in 2013, Toyin tweeted at an
‘aunty Agbaya’ who was going around tarnishing her
image. Toyin made reference to herself being married
while the ‘Agbaya’ was single and jumping around. This
was a few months after Funke Akindele’s marriage
ended. (Read here). A lot of people felt Toyin was
referring to Funke.
Well, yesterday after news hit social media that Toyin
Aimakhu’s marriage to Adeniyi Johnson had crashed,
Funke went on instagram and posted what you see
above and under it she wrote “Yes, You!” with two
tongue out smiley.
Many of her followers immediately picked up on it and
accused her of shading Toyin because her marriage had
also failed. When fans criticized her for the post, Funke
Akindele removed it but not before I screen-grabbed it.
So that’s happened. You think it had to do with Toyin?”
Benchmark Media threatened that Akindele could sue
Ikeji if she does not retract the damning story and issue
an apology as requested by her lawyers.
“While Linda went too far and assumed the role of a
mind reader and a judge in her Sunday, January 25,
2015 post: “Did Funke Akindele Shade Toyin Aimakhu
Last Night?” her management company said.
According to Benchmark Media, Ikeji’s story exposed the
award winning actress to cynical comments and hasty
judgements.
“Her post, did not only portray Akindele’s brand in bad
light, it has promoted unhealthy rivalry where there is
none,” the statement read.
Akindele and her lawyers have since written Ikeji,
demanding that she retracts the story. “On same day, 25
January, via email, Akindele and her lawyers wrote a
letter to Linda demanding a retraction and apology
within 24 hours or face action within the ambit of law,”
her management company said.
