Kunle Afolayan Speaks on Funke Akindeleās Recent Call
Kunle Afolayan has addressed a recent phone call he received from Funke Akindele, where the actress reportedly expressed frustration over his comments.
According to Afolayan, Funke called him yesterday and raised her voice, saying, āMr. Afolayan, I know you donāt like me, but please stop mentioning my name in your interviews.ā She then abruptly ended the call.
In response, Afolayan stated, āI believe thereās more to this situation than meets the eye. I was recently at a film business forum, and cinema operators asked me when I would return to the cinema. I told them that I wouldnāt return unless I could make good money from it.ā
He went on to clarify that he holds no personal animosity towards Funke Akindele. "In fact, just last week, I attended a film festival in Kaduna, where I encouraged young people to look up to Funke as a role model. Iāll find the video and share it," he added.
Kunle emphasized that he has always supported othersā initiatives and reiterated that he never made any comments about Funke's dancing, contrary to what may have been implied. He concluded by saying, "Iām not against anyone, and I donāt know what triggered her reaction."
