Funke Akindele, an actress and producer, has discussed the importance of maintaining friendships and why she is no longer close to Eniola Badmus.
In an interview with Arise TV, the mother of two discussed her relationships with colleagues such as Eniola Badmus and others.
Funke Akindele said that she has never had close friends outside of her brothers when asked how she has handled friendships and relationships in the face of her rising notoriety.
She added that, in contrast to popular belief, she likes to spend her free time indoors with her family and kids, having fun, and watching movies.
In Funke Akindele’s 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. I simply become preoccupied with my work and my kids because I have to make time for them. 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 some are so dear to my heart. I have a team, my crew members. And for my colleagues, I have cordial relationships with everybody.”
When asked about Eniola Badmus specifically with who she used to be very close, 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. I still get along well with everyone, though, including her.
