In the post, the movie producer, however, did not mention when he died or the circumstances that led to his death.
The actress is the second of her father’s three children, two girls and one boy.
Her mother is a medical doctor. Born on August 24, 1977, the actress has become a sensation in the country’s movie industry.
She has also won numerous awards over the course of her acting career.
Funke played the lead role in the TV show ‘Jenifa’s Diary‘, alongside Fisayo Ajisola, Falz, Juliana Olayode, and Aderounmu Adejumoke, for which she was named the ‘best actress’ at the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards.
In 2016, she also married JJC Skillz in London, having parted ways with Kehinde Oloyede, her ex-husband, citing irreconcilable differences.
