Funke Akindele has penned a humble expression of gratitude as she reflects on her blessings and achievements in 2023.
The acclaimed actress took to her Instagram page to share delightful updates about her accomplishments in the past year, which include being recognized as the highest-grossing movie actress, producer, and director.
In her heartfelt message, Funke Akindele expressed her humility in receiving such recognition and reaching such milestones. She extended her appreciation to her fans, acknowledging that her achievements would not have been possible without their active participation in her projects.
Funke Akindele earned these accolades from her masterpiece released in December. She wrote, “I’m humbled and honored to reach this milestone. All glory to God!!! None of this would be possible without the love and enthusiasm of my incredible fans, and the dedication and expertise of the crew who worked on my films. Thank you to the producers, directors, cast, and entire production team – I’m so grateful for your hard work and collaboration! I’m still pinching myself! Becoming the highest-grossing!! Oluwaseun!!”
Just a few days ago, Funke Akindele addressed her detractors while discussing her journey in the movie industry. She shared a message on her Instagram story and X app, emphasizing that she refuses to be defined by any category imposed upon her. Despite facing challenges as an underdog in the industry, she continues to push boundaries in Nigerian cinema.
She encouraged her readers not to give up on their dreams, emphasizing that her success is measured not just by accolades but by the stories told and lives impacted.
It’s worth noting that Funke Akindele found herself in a mild scandal last month when the brother of the late Jumoke Aderounmu criticized her online over the actress’ involvement in Jumoke’s death. Funke later addressed the situation on her Instagram Live, providing her perspective and clarifying her knowledge of Jumoke Aderounmu’s circumstances. She spoke candidly about her personal challenges, including the loss of her mother, marriage, and involvement in politics, all within the same year, as she continues to work towards rebuilding her life.
