Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has addressed criticism from a netizen who questioned her decision to wear a ring on her “marriage finger” despite being divorced.
The commenter, identified as @OriretanHonour on X (formerly Twitter), advised the actress to stop wearing the ring, claiming it could discourage potential suitors. In his post, he wrote:
“Funke, it’s unwise to still wear a ring on your marriage finger knowing you’re divorced. Even worse, it might chase away your future husband. Little things count now that you’re still famous, hot, and rich. Mind your public acts. Remove the ring now. You need a man in your life ASAP. Act fast. Be wise.”
Funke Akindele, however, dismissed the concern with a simple and direct response, emphasizing her focus on financial stability:
“I need money! That’s the koko.”
A History of Resilience
The actress, who has been married and divorced twice, has always been open about her journey. Her first marriage to Mr. Oloyede ended in 2013 after just a year due to irreconcilable differences. Her second marriage to music producer JJC Skillz ended in 2022, though the union was blessed with twins.
In a past interview with Wazobia FM, Funke addressed her marital history, confidently stating that being divorced twice does not define her or make her a failure.
Priorities First
Funke’s bold response reflects her determination to prioritize her personal and financial goals over societal expectations. For the award-winning actress, securing her financial future remains the top priority, regardless of external opinions about her love life.
As one of Nollywood’s most celebrated figures, Funke Akindele continues to inspire fans with her resilience, wit, and focus on her ambitions.
