Nollywood actress and producer Jaiye Kuti, also known as Jayeola Monje, has commended her senior colleague Funke Akindele for publicly endorsing her.
Funke supported Jayeola on her Instagram page by promoting her latest film, Alagbede. The box office queen invited her admirers to attend the movie with her when she announced that she would be heading to the theater. She congratulated her and said her film was already doing well at the box office.

Congrats my darling Aunty Jaiye Kuti!! It’s already a success in Jesus’ name!!! @jayeola_monje”.
Jayeola Monje praised the box office queen in Yoruba in the comment area, praising her for being a queen.
Commenting, Funke appreciated her writing, “Oluwaseun ma. E se ma”.
At the moment, Funke Akindele is the African box office movie queen. In just 21 days after its release, her final project, A Tr!be Called Judah, smashed box office records when it made its theatrical debut in December 2023. It was the first Nollywood movie to make N1 billion as a result.
The film’s performance exceeded that of the actress’s earlier productions, Battle on Buka Street (N668.4m) and Omo Ghetto (N636.1m), which are presently the third and second highest-grossing movies in Nigerian theaters, respectively.
At the celebration, she was given a brand-new automobile as a reward for her ground-breaking accomplishment.
She dedicated the Silverbird Lifetime Achievement Award, which she won last month, to her family, friends, and admirers.
