Funke gaining of weight is coming less than a year after she returned to the gym because of a troll. A male troll had advised Funke and her colleague, Toyin Abraham to shed weight as he noted how they had changed shape and signature, which wasn’t good for their career. Though Funke had replied him with a little insult, as she appreciated him for the unsolicited advice, the movie star had taken his words to heart as she hit the gym, hours after his comment.
Last month, Funke had replied to a fan who inquired about her sexual life. The fan had questioned if the mother of two had time for sex, as she urged her to create time for sex and massage. Funke had replied to her, expressing shock at her statement.
The box office Queen had also disagreed with a Twitter user who spoke out on her work ethic. The tweep revealed how she gets inspired by the award-winning filmmaker and stated that when she wants to rest, she remembers Funke is not resting and as such, continues her hustle. Disagreeing with her, Funke stated that she takes some time off to rest well.
Last year, Funke had opened up on the hard times she experienced before rising to stardom. She shared a video of herself being active on the set of her highest-grossing billion-dollar movie, A Trībe Called Judah, as she counted herself as a testimony of believing in herself, saying she faced different challenges but learned to stand tall and encourage others because of them.
