Nollywood star Funke Akindele has debunked a claim by a Twitter user suggesting she never rests, highlighting the importance of balance in her life.
The fan had tweeted, “Sometimes I want to rest, and I remember Funke Akindele is not resting.” Funke humorously disagreed, responding, “Na lie. I dey rest wella.”
Despite Funke’s assertion, her colleagues, including Sharon Ooja and Falz, playfully backed the tweep’s perspective. Falz quipped, “For where you dey rest?” while actress Nancy Isime remarked, “Rest ke? She no even dey sleep.”
The celebrated filmmaker, who recently broke records with her blockbuster A Tr!be Called Judah, grossing over ₦1.4 billion, has often been praised for her relentless work ethic. Funke has also shared her struggles before achieving stardom, emphasizing resilience and self-belief as keys to her success.
Funke’s success story, including hits like Omo Ghetto: The Saga and Battle on Buka Street, underscores her status as a powerhouse in Nollywood. However, her playful response shows she values rest amid her thriving career.
