On his matter with Fathia and Saidi Balogun: There was no shocker for me in the story anyway. The only thing that pained me was that Saidi Balogun believed that I had carnal knowledge of his wife. I was so disappointed that he could believe that. If they asked him, he should be the one to say to others that Funsho is not that kind of a person. I would never have anything to do with a married woman. I understand too much to transgress that vile against myself. Married people carry a covenant you cannot break and go unpunished. At the end of the day, he came back to apologise and said it was due to some factors. So, when the press was busy reporting that falsehood, I still didn’t bother to react.
On relationship with Yomi Fash-Lanso: We bonded in the quest for knowledge. We also got to realize that we share similar ideals. We want to be associated with originality, progress and not mediocrity or fake life in any sense of the word. We met and saw that in each other. If you ask me who’s the best, I’d honestly tell you it’s Yomi Fash-Lanso. He’s a very good director too. I told him one day: ‘do you know that I take cues from you as a director?’ He also confirmed that he finds the highest level of acting when I’m on set. We called each other Gorilla 1 and 2. Without scheming anything, a group of journalists came together and honoured us as Emperors of the Art sometime in October this year.
On why Yoruba actresses are richer than their male-counterpart: Making money and getting money don’t actually mean the same thing. When you work for your money, you make that money. But when you get money, that’s not by your labour but by the generosity of someone with the sole aim of getting something in return. I maintain my small family and I have a lot of responsibilities resting on my shoulders as I have my way of lending a hand to people which I won’t make public. I took this from my dad because even the maid in our house must go to school. One of my dad’s former shop keepers is a professor now at Lagos State University. Despite how many kids biological and adopted that he sent to school, he’s still very comfortable today. He still has a shop inside the National Stadium, Surulere-Lagos till date. That’s the ideal I hold dear to my heart.
On growing up: I grew in separate homes because my parents were never married. It didn’t affect me; maybe that’s why I’d been very cautious about my life. I didn’t want it to result in the same thing that happen to kids from broken homes. My mother currently stays with me and my dad, who is now a devout Christian (married to someone else) yet they’re very good friends.
