Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has addressed criticism from a concerned social media user who questioned her choice to wear a ring on her "marriage finger" following her divorce.

The user, known as @OriretanHonour on X, expressed that it was unwise for the actress to maintain the ring, suggesting that it could discourage potential romantic interests.

He wrote: “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 addressed the concern by stating that her primary focus is on achieving financial stability.

“I need money! That’s the koko,” she wrote.

Funke Akindele has gone through two marriages, both of which ended in divorce. She married her first husband, Mr. Oloyede, on May 26, 2012, but their relationship dissolved in July 2013 due to irreconcilable differences.

Her second marriage to JJC Skillz came to an end in 2022, after the couple welcomed twins. In a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Akindele reflected on her experiences in marriage, asserting that her two divorces do not characterize her as a failure.
