Funke Akindele has again lashed
out at her critics, who claimed that her infrequent
appearance in English movies is due to her linguistic
deficiency in English. For some time now, the rumour
is that the talented actress has been featuring
majorly in Yoruba movies because she cannot speak
or act effectively in English.
But rather than take up her haters in the most
common ‘street way’, which she is known for in most
of her movies, the Ikorodu, Lagos State-born
thespian took to Twitter to express her disgust. She
wrote on her twitter page: “I always laugh when
people say na only Yoruba films she dey act. She no
fit speak/act English film. Maybe dey didn’t watch I
Need to Know.”
As soon as she dropped the tweet, her fans started to
take a swipe at her critics. In a comment, a fan
wrote: “Of course, they are either too young or
ignorant.” Another fan wrote: “I agree because that
series was more than educative and I heard Funke
was paid in Dollars.”
For those who, Funke Akindele came into the movie
industry more than a decade ago. The producer of
Jenifa, an award-winning movie, is one of the most
respected crossover actresses, having also acted in a
number of English movies, including White Hunters.
