There have been recent rumors circulating that popular Nollywood actress Funke Akindele and her estranged husband, JJC Skillz, have made peace months after their separation. The couple’s split was announced by JJC on his Instagram page in June 2022, and since then, they had unfollowed each other on the platform.

JJC had shared in his Instagram post that he and Funke had been facing marital issues for two years, which eventually led to their separation. He mentioned that he had moved out of their matrimonial home three months prior to the announcement, at the insistence of Funke.

Funke Akindele, on her part, explained that the couple’s dreams and visions for their marriage were no longer aligned, contributing to their decision to separate.

“Well, the truth is our dreams and vision of what our marriage should be just no longer aligned. And efforts to make it work all fell on deaf ears, so why hang around?” she said.

However, a recent check on their Instagram profiles shows that they have now re-followed each other on the platform, indicating a possible reconciliation or at least a willingness to rebuild their relationship.

The news of Funke Akindele and JJC following each other again on Instagram has sparked excitement among their fans, who are hopeful for a reunion between the former couple. Many fans have expressed their support and well-wishes, rooting for them to work things out and potentially reconcile.

Mp3bullet.ng presents Nigerian artists who have lost elections.

The day when only full-time politicians, retired generals, and businessmen could participate in Nigerian politics is long past.

Celebrities from Nigeria are now leaving the entertainment industry to participate actively in politics in their nation.

Several Nigerian celebrities have seized the reins of leadership to usher in change and progress in the nation in an effort to appease the cries of the youth for political engagement and inclusion.

Several people have praised these actors, entertainers, and musicians for their daring and boldness in offering to serve as Nigeria’s leaders, despite claims that they lacked the necessary expertise.

However, despite the passion and zeal, some are yet to win the elections they are contesting for.

Banky W

The Nigerian actor and singer have lost two consecutive elections. In 2019, he ran for the House of Representatives position in Lagos State’s Eti-Osa District on the Modern Democratic Party’s platform (MDP).

Even though he was seen as a formidable candidate, Musiliu Obanikoro of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ultimately defeated him in the general election.

He ran for the same position again in 2023 but lost to Labour Party candidate Thadeus Attah.

9ice

The singer-songwriter ran in 2015 for a position in the House of Representatives to represent Oyo State’s Ogbomosho North/South/Oriire Federal Constituency.

Regrettably, he was defeated in the Oyo State primary by a strong rival, Prince Akeem Oyewumi of the All Progressives Congress party, who is the son of the Soun of Ogbomoso.

Tony Tetulia

Tony Tetuila is the stage name of Nigerian Afro hip hop singer Anthony Olanrewaju Awotoye.

The famed artist, who is from Irepodun Local Government Area in Kwara State, ran for the House of Representatives position in his home constituency in the 2015 National Assembly election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but lost.

Special Mention

Funke Akindele

The well-known actress who goes by the name Jenifa is another famous person who failed to win an election. Under the aegis of the People’s Democratic Party, she ran for the position of Deputy Governor of Lagos State (PDP).

Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful in her campaign to represent the state, losing to the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The rumoured remarriage news of Funke Akindele’s ex-husband JJC Skillz seems to be true as a new photo of the rapper and his new wife surfaced online.

Recall that Mp3bullet.ng reported that just a few months after his split with Funke Akindele, JJC Skillz was rumoured to have secretly married an Ebira woman in Kano state.

Tosin Silverdam, a celebrity blogger, reports that it was also heard that JJC refused to allow any photos of the couple to be shot, which is why there are not any public images of them together.

Furthermore, in a recent development, pictures of Falilat Raji, JJC’s new bride, have started to circulate online.

Tosin was also successful in obtaining a second, extremely rare image of JJC Skillz and his supposed wife on their wedding day.

JJC Skillz’s alleged recent marriage comes just a few months after his separation from Funke Akindele. Recall that in July 2022, he turned to social media to declare they had split ways after efforts to rectify matters proved unsuccessful.

Mp3bullet.ng reports the top breakups from Nigerian artists and their lovers that made headlines in 2022.

Nigerian musicians experience breakups just like everyone else.

As 2022 draws to a close, it is interesting to reflect on how many fantastic and unexpected things happened, especially because it gave rise to stories about prominent people breaking up with the relationships they once loved and cherished.

While some Nigerian celebrities welcomed new children and attractive companions into their lives, others experienced a significant year of international fame.

Other celebrities left their romantic relationships this year, turning to nasty drama on social media to make their points.

Mp3bullet.ng brings a list of Nigerian artists who went their separate ways from their lovers.

Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz

Despite social media rumours, these Nollywood stars worked hard to conceal the reality that their marriage had already ended. Half of the truth came to light when JJC’s son disclosed that Funke and his father had been at the helm of a marital crisis for about two years.

Later, in June, JJC Skillz announced his separation from Funke Akindele.

JJC Skillz, a movie producer and marketer, claimed that he tried everything to make his marriage work but was forced to leave because nothing was working.

Skiibii and Ms Dsf

From the instant they broke up, DJ Ms Dsf made sure to let everyone know that she was the one bankrolling their relationship. Recently, singer Skiibii purchased a new Maybach, and Dsf did not waste any time in criticising him online. On social media, the musician also does his fair share of dissing his ex-girlfriend.

Burna Boy and Stefflon Don

Fans eventually acknowledged and accepted this year that British musician Stefflon Don shattered their Odogwu’s heart.

Steff made sure to criticise Burna Boy on social media at several points, in both quiet and loud ways.
After his ex-girlfriend referred to him as a “mummy’s boy,” Nigerians had to stand up for Burna Boy and advise her to move on.

The breakup hit Burna Boy so much that he entered the studio to sing Last Last, a song about heartbreak aka breakfast.

After months of keeping quiet, Funke Akindele finally spoke out about her recent separation from entertainment entrepreneur JJC Skillz.

In an interview with Legit.ng, the actress who recently hosted the launch of her box office hit, “Battle on Buka Street,” discussed a variety of topics.

The Jenifa actor discussed her newest film and the sources of its inspiration while also detailing what transpired in her second marriage and the reasons it ended in separation.

Speaking on her new movie, ‘Battle on Buka Stree’, Funke gave an insight into what inspired the film:

“Battle on Buka Street tells the Nigerian story, an insight into our culture, and an appreciation of our food but done from an entertaining and comical angle woven with many moral lessons.”

She also touched on her separation from her husband, JJC Skillz. She said:

“Well, the truth is our dreams and vision of what our marriage should be just no longer aligned. And efforts to make it work all fell on deaf ears, so why hang around.”

Funke Akindele also had this to say when we asked her what she stands to gain by going into politics;

“As a young person in Lagos, I’m bothered because my future is at stake, and the future of my boys is at stake if we continue to live like this in Lagos. No matter your tribe, as long as you live in Lagos, and you’re tired of the standard of living, the present situation of things, and there is a feeling that it is time for a change, well now you have it. That is the succour my principal and I intend to provide.”

Recall that JJC whose real name is Abdulrasheed Bello announced his separation from Funke in an Instagram post on Thursday, June 30.

He disclosed that the last two years had been difficult for them and he tried his best to make things work. He added that Funke asked him to leave their matrimonial home three months prior the post.

The 45-year-old noted that he was making the announcement to clear the air and make it known to the public that they have decided to go their separate ways. He wrote:

“Dear Friends and family I need to let you know that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children. The last two years have been extremely difficult for us. I know I have tried my best to fix things but I believe it is beyond repair now.”

Funke and JJC got married in a private ceremony in London on August 23, 2016, the eve of her 39th birthday.

Funke Akindele’s estranged husband, JJC Skillz, has explained why he surprised her on her birthday despite their marital problems.

Many people were shocked when Abdulrasheem Bello, alias JJC Skillz, the actress’s estranged spouse, wished her a happy birthday and prayed for her on Instagram.

This occurred not long after he posted about their separation on social media.

Now, during his latest appearance on TVC’s eSplash, JJC Skillz opened up about why he wished Funke Akindele a happy birthday, as well as touching a little bit on the show that they both created together called Industreet.

Speaking about the television show he and Funke Akindele created together called Industreet and how it pertains to the music industry, JJC Skillz said:

“I did a whole three seasons of a show called Industreet and if you watch Industreet, I don’t know, a lot of people don’t get it but it’s actually edutainment.

It’s not just entertainment, it’s the truth about the music industry. When you want to sign contracts, what does a manager mean? Is your friend your manager? You know, who owns the masters of songs? Other things as well that are very important and people don’t even notice.

[Up] is the record label, [down] is the artist, and in the center are the investors. And really the investors are the ones that are moving this whole industry. And those are the people that you hear about when the artiste and the record label have drama because they pumped in the money. Now when it’s time to reap, there’s now some issues. So what I wanted to do is educate on that, and help with collaboration, and help people grow from there.”

When asked about his birthday wish for his estranged wife, he said;

“A lot of people are quite shocked to find out that I am human. To be honest, growing up in England and with my experience of having different baby mamas, the most important thing is the children.

Just focus on the children and let all the drama go and most importantly, have the attitude of gratitude. We had almost seven good years of lovely relationship. So Happy birthday to her and I wish her luck”, he said.

The same was true for Tonto Dikeh, who had declared her wish to wed him before things fell apart.
