Funke Akindele Says Stardom Is Not So Enviable

Here are the few reasons she gave for saying this. The
funniest part was the ‘Abebelube’ part, and she still had to say thank you
because she is a celebrity, lol. Her words below;

“I was at the airport sometime back and a woman came to say
hello. Of course, I greeted her politely. Again, she came and I did same thing.
Again, she came and I was still my smiling self. This went on like 20 times and
she brought many people to see me! When it was time to board the plane, I was
on a queue and suddenly had a slap on my back! It was the woman and she said,
‘Abebelube’ (Yoruba word for a more-than-smart person) and laughed. I was hurt!
But I just grinned and said ‘thank you ma.’

The normal Funke Akindele would have reacted but I just
reminded myself of the status. But I am human! I remember having fever, went to
the clinic, was asked to run a test and as my doctor attended to me, another
doctor passed by and said in everyone’s hearing that, ‘Funke Akindele came for
a pregnancy test!’ Though he was joking, what if those people picked it up and
the rumour spread? Even if I came for a pregnancy test, am I not entitled to my
privacy? It is not too enviable a world.”
