Actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has expressed her heartfelt gratitude to singer D’banj for his steadfast support of her and her Jenifa brand.

This emotional tribute took place during the premiere of her highly anticipated film, EverybodyLovesJenifa, on Sunday evening.

In a poignant speech, Akindele shared how D’banj went above and beyond in his support. She revealed that, despite having prior travel commitments for another project, he opted to reschedule his plans to attend the event, demonstrating his dedication to her success.

Funke emphasized that the artist, popularly known as “Bangalee,” made sacrifices in his own schedule to stand by her side.

“A big thank you to Bangalee; he was supposed to travel for a project. I begged and begged and begged,” Funke shared during her speech. “He told his guys to cut the project, and he would do this for me, and he did it at no cost.”
