Nigerian rapper and actor Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz the Bahd Guy, has humorously called out Nollywood star Funke Akindele regarding her attempt at a Yoruba quiz on the Masoyinbo show.
The playful exchange has reignited public interest in their dynamic on-screen and off-screen relationship, much to the delight of fans.
Photos of Funke Akindele on the Masoyinbo show with host Olalekan Fabilola sparked speculation about her fluency in Yoruba. Many fans jokingly doubted her chances of winning on the show, with some advising her not to embody her famous Jenifa’s Diary character.

“Zero naira. E sure me die. @funkejenifaakindele if you win any money make I bend,” Falz quipped, confidently challenging the actress to share the quiz results.
In response, Funke Akindele teased that she would surprise him with her performance.

Playfully scolding him for “forsaking” their Jenifa love in favor of another woman, she used their signature comedic style to wish him success.
Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Falz praised Funke Akindele as one of the most hardworking entertainers he has encountered. He recounted how she personally reached out to cast him in Jenifa’s Diary and how enjoyable the collaboration was.
“Funke Akindele is incredibly hardworking. Watching her work is inspiring, and the experience on Jenifa’s Diary was a testament to her dedication and creativity,” Falz said.
