After attending Iyabo Ojo’s Labake Olododo movie premiere, Funke spoke about her outfit for the event and how it represents her. She said she is spreading her wings, evolving into the best version of herself and is embracing positive vibes, growth, and transformation.
While speaking at the Media Independent Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MIPAN) 2025, Funke said nobody made her a star, only God. The movie star recalled how the idea of Jenifa’s brand came to her and how she started writing scripts for her movies. She recounted how someone in the industry told her to keep milking Jenifa’s brand and gave her money to finance her projects.
Funke had opened up on the hard times she experienced before rising to stardom. She counted herself as a testimony of believing in herself, saying she faced different challenges but learned to stand tall and encourage others because of them.
