Actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has shared how an influencer she approached for a content collaboration during the promotion of Everybody Loves Jenifa turned her down.
Speaking at the Creative Africa Nexus Weekend (CANEX WKND), Akindele said she initially hesitated to reach out but eventually sent the influencer a message. She said the response came almost a week later, with the influencer citing her management, but Akindele’s offer to pay for the collaboration was also ignored.
Despite the experience, Funke Akindele said she refused to let the rejection discourage her. She added that she later saw reports claiming she had blocked the person but chose not to respond, instead leaving the matter to God and continuing with her work.
