Funke Akindele Fires Back at Criticism Over Wearing Wedding Ring Post-Divorce

Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has responded to a critic who questioned her decision to wear a wedding ring on her “marriage finger” despite being divorced.

The Criticism

A netizen identified as @OriretanHonour on X expressed concern that Akindele’s choice to wear the ring might deter potential suitors. The critic argued that it was unwise for the actress to continue wearing the ring, stating:

“Funke, it’s unwise to still wear a ring on your marriage finger knowing you’re divorced. Even worse, it might chase away your future husband. Little things count now that you’re still famous, hot, and rich. Mind your public acts. Remove the ring now. You need a man in your life ASAP. Act fast. Be wise.”

Akindele’s Response

Akindele dismissed the concern, prioritizing financial stability over the critic’s advice. She simply stated:

“I need money! That’s the koko.”

Akindele’s Marital History

Funke Akindele has been married and divorced twice. Her first marriage to Mr. Oloyede ended in divorce in 2013, while her second marriage to JJC Skillz ended in 2022 after they welcomed twins together.

Akindele Addresses Marital History

In an interview with Wazobia FM last year, Akindele addressed her marital history, asserting that being divorced twice does not make her a failure.
