“I am asking bloggers to stop interfering personal relationships” – Fathia Balogun

The rumours began after Fathia celebrated her birthday on February 5, when Funke sent her a congratulatory message.

Fathia replied politely with “Ose Iya Ibeji” in Yoruba.

A blogger later suggested the exchange looked uncomfortable, leading to speculation that the actresses were at odds.

Fathia addressed the issue during a live video, insisting there was no tension between her and Funke.

She said bloggers were twisting events to create unnecessary drama and cautioned them against interfering in her personal or professional relationships.

She affirmed that Funke’s birthday message was genuine and that her response had been misunderstood.

The two actresses have previously been linked to minor controversies, including reports that Funke unfollowed and blocked Fathia on social media due to alleged disagreements over event attendance.

She said: “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.”
