In a recent interview with Arise TV, prominent Nigerian actress, Funke Akindele revealed that she doesn’t have close friendships with her colleagues, including Eniola Badmus, due to her busy schedule and preference for spending time with family
Funke Akindele explained that her siblings are her closest friends, and she has cordial relationships with industry colleagues, but her priorities are her work and children.
When asked about Eniola Badmus, she fondly described their past interactions, saying Eniola makes her laugh, but they’ve grown apart due to their busy lives.
Funke Akindele emphasized that she remains cordial with Eniola Badmus and others in the industry, but her focus is on her family and work.
In her words:
“Friendship? I think my siblings are my friends. They are my friends. I have acquaintances, people that I’m cordial with, but not serious friendships like that. Because I’m always busy working. And when I’m not working, I’m sleeping, chilling with the kids, watching a movie, chilling with the family.
I like being in my space. I don’t really like going to parties, I’m not a party animal. I don’t like it at all. I run a studio, we film every year – we have content on Youtube, movies at cinemas and on streaming platforms. I’m very busy. So I just get busy with work and my children, because I need to give them time. So when I’m not working, I’m with my children. I’m in my space.
In the industry, I have cordial relationships with people in the industry. I love working with some particular people. I work with all my colleagues, but there are some that are so dear to my heart. I have a team, my crew members. And for my colleagues, I have cordial relationship with everybody.”
However, when asked about Eniola Badmus specifically who she used to be very close with, Funke Akindele gave an update on their relationship saying:
“Eniola Badmus makes me laugh. She cracks me up so much. I love to chill with her. But, we’ve been so busy with life. Everybody is doing their thing. But I’m still cordial with her, and everybody.”
