The surprise came shortly after a playful exchange between the two. Funke had joked about Iyabo needing a phone upgrade, to which Iyabo laughingly replied that she would only do so if Funke footed the bill. Much to her surprise, Funke turned the joke into reality.

The heartfelt gesture occurred during the 30th birthday celebration of renowned fashion designer Veekee James.
In a video that has since gone viral, Iyabo is seen opening a gift box to unveil a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max—a top-tier gadget that quickly became the talk of the town.

Beaming with joy, Iyabo showed off the phone and humorously asked her followers if they had friends capable of such grand surprises. She went on to praise Funke Akindele, describing her as a true “MVP” and the kind of friend who not only talks the talk but walks the walk.

This touching exchange further underscored the growing bond between the two actresses, a friendship that has become more evident in recent times—especially during the wedding festivities of Iyabo’s daughter, Priscilla.
