Funke Akindele has responded to criticism surrounding the marketing approach she uses to promote her films
The record-breaking filmmaker, known for using dance skits and humour to push her projects online, addressed the backlash in a series of posts shared on her Instagram story on Saturday.
Akindele said she was not responsible for anyone’s lack of progress and stressed that success was not a limited opportunity.
“I’m not the one hindering your progress. Ka rin ka po, yiye nin ye ni,” she wrote.
She added that the entertainment space was large enough for everyone to thrive and encouraged critics to focus on building their own lanes instead of attacking others.
“If you can’t beat them or join them, create your own path. No allow jealousy burn you. The sky is so big for everybody to fly. Eyin Werey jojo!!!” she said.
Akindele currently holds the record as the highest-grossing filmmaker in Nollywood history.
Her 2025 release, Behind The Scenes, has grossed N2,407,000,000 and is still counting.
