Whether it was intentional or not, the public display of their friendship despite their breakup was heartwarming to witness. In a recent interview with Channels Television, Funke Akindele discusses the new show “She Must Be Obeyed” that she and JJC co-produced. She also praises JJC and discusses his contribution to the program. Here are the words of Funke Akindele.
Speaking first about the show “She Must Be Obeyed” produced by Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz, Funke Akindele said:
FUNKE AKINDELE: The most important thing is telling our African stories you understand. Telling it properly. Showcasing what we have in our culture through drama, through music, and that’s what we’ve been able to do with “She Must Be Obeyed”. We know that in every industry, not just entertainment, once there is heirarchy, there will be competition. Competition is normal, it’s proper, it’s welcome. But unhealthy competition is what I have zero tolerance for and this is what this series is all about.
We need to discourage it you understand. And we have people who will do anything to be up there, they can kill to be up there, they can hurt anyone as long as they’re successful. So with this show, we say a big no to that.
Speaking further about JJC Skillz and his input towards the show, and especially the music, Funke Akindele said:
FUNKE AKINDELE: Big shoutout to JJC Skillz. He wrote the songs and Puffy Tee produced the songs. It was fun all through I must say. I didn’t lean on Waje. JJC Skillz knows his onions and he was there to say “no do it this way”, “you’re gonna sing it this way”. He sang it and I just laid my voice on it. So it was fantastic. It was a great experience.
What do you think about what Funke Akindele said, and also what do you think about the cordial relationship between her and her ex-husband JJC Skillz?
