Veteran Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has publicly called out her estranged husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, better known as JJC Skillz, for failing to take responsibility for their children.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Funke Akindele expressed her frustration, revealing that she has been solely responsible for raising their children. During the conversation, she also opened up about the emotional challenges she faced following her mother’s death and the depression she struggled with after her loss during the 2023 elections.
She said: “I do not like to mourn. I remember when my mom passed on, I just wanted to get out of it quickly. I like to get out of the situation quickly. I do not allow myself to break down, and it affected me after my mom’s death. And I almost died.
“My heart was aching and something happened online. For the first time I took my phone, I went live on social media and I’m like, you all should leave me alone. Do I know this person? No, this person came to act in my movie, got paid, and left. Why are you accusing me of something I didn’t do wrong?
“Do you know what I’m going through? I lost my mum, my marriage fell apart, I lost in politics, I have to get back to work, I have to earn a living. I have children I’m raising alone and you are stressing me. So, for the first time, I cried. I broke down for weeks.”
Prompt News reports that Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz tied the knot in 2016 and became parents to twins in 2018.
However, in June 2022, JJC Skillz announced their separation through an Instagram post.
He explained, “I’m making this announcement to clarify to the public that we are now leaving separate lives. We still have unresolved matters concerning the custody and well-being of our children, along with other business affairs that need to be sorted out, but I’m confident they will be resolved in time.”
