Actor and film maker Funke Akindele fired back at Colleague and co filmmaker Kunle Afolayan with the sharp line, “Don’t let jealousy burn you,” after he questioned the hype surrounding today’s cinema blockbusters.
He had earlier suggested that some films boast “big numbers that don’t reflect real returns” and said t that he won’t engage in “energy‑draining publicity stunts”.
His remarks were widely read as a veiled swipe at Funke’s billion‑naira hits and she responded swiftly which is not her style.
Those who Funke very well would attest to the fact that she ignores swipes and shades and only acknowledges positive vibes...
So I am going with the school of thought that it is a PR stunt to trend something both of them are about to do....
These celebrities will make us think they are fighting but they are not...If you know, you know!
She's usually too silent

ReplyDeleteThese people can beef each other's success like kilode.
We all mustn't have the same way of doing things....
ReplyDeleteThey keep poking this woman and disguise it as general statement directed at something else. This billions she’s been grossing is really getting to them do what else can they do but claim it’s inflated amount or water down the efforts!
ReplyDeleteFunke never asked anyone to dance, she danced to promote her movies (amongst other things), saw that it worked for her and then stuck with it!
Stop poking this woman! I hope you are happy now that she’s been provoked to talk!
Kunle you will not mind your business now, even if her gain is 20 naira how is it your business.
ReplyDeleteI watched the interview, he didn’t say it in a bad way, he said it is draining and time consuming and he can’t do it. He mentioned and gave kudos to people like Funke, Toyin and the rest that do the dancing promotion.
ReplyDeleteThere’s another video!
DeleteNo be Yoruba industry again
ReplyDeleteMeaning?
DeleteThis same tribalism you will try to bury even you are demanding prove signs waste their votes in a failed candidate that thinks like you. It is the same bigotry that will still lead you to a SW state because of the failed policies and politics of where you come from.
