Multi talented actress Funke Akindele popularly known as Jenifa or ‘Gbo gbo bigs gals’ is not resting on her hoarse but rather she’s moving from grace to grace. The actress who has been in the entertainment industry for some time now started her movie career with “I Need To Know” soap opera which was common back in the days before moving on to movies which has now become her selling point.
On Tuesday morning a new commercial of ‘So Klien’ detergent was unveiled to members of the press by Eko Supreme which featured Funke Akindele as the lead character. The commercial is a promotional tool for the scratch and win promo by Eko Supreme.
Speaking about her endorsement of this brand “the Eko Supreme brand is a very reliable and diligent brand which has been putting out good products in the Nigerian market, hence my decision to work with them and also to be able to give my fans the chance of becoming a millionaire through the Eko Supreme scratch and win promo”
Over the past months, Funke’s profile has risen enormously hence the choice of many big brands requesting the services of Funke as their brand ambassador or her endorsement as she just did for Klein. Among these brands are, Globacom, one of Africa’s biggest telecommunication giants and network providers. Funke serves as a brand ambassador for the Lagos state internal revenue service’s (LIRS) as well as she being a Peace Ambassador.
Funke Akindele's acting career dates back to the time that she was just a young girl. But she did not hit the limelight until she wrote, produced and featured in her award winning film, Jenifa. Ever since, her profile has risen and unfortunately, exposed her to one scandal after the other.
For example, her alleged romance with fellow actor, Femi Adebayo, made headlines sometime ago, though both denied the allegation. Now it is rumoured that Funke and Femi recently had a fight in one hotel in Abeokuta. Femi is said to have accused Funke of infidelity and in anger, he had stormed out of the hotel.
As at the time of going to press, Life and Beat could not reach Funke, as all her phones were switched off. But a source close to the actress said she was not dating Femi.
“There was a time when both of them were very close. But due to some things that happened, which I cannot tell you, Funke has been on her own and she is not dating Femi.We know where the story is coming from and why they are peddling such a wicked rumour. Funke was not in any hotel in Abeokuta. She told me so and I believe her. Those carrying this rumour should desist from it and allow this young girl to carry on with her career,” the source said.
