Funke Akindele Says Success Comes from Hard Work and Doing Tough Jobs
Funke Akindele, a well-known Nigerian actress and producer, recently shared some real talk about what it truly takes to succeed. During a chat on the ‘WithChude’ podcast, she made it clear that anyone aiming for greatness must be ready to roll up their sleeves and do the gritty work most people shy away from.
According to her, success doesn’t just come from talent or luck. It’s built on hard work, consistency, and being fully committed to one’s goals. Funke pointed out that many people admire her achievements and want the same spotlight, but what they often miss is the behind-the-scenes hustle.
“I tell them all the time—if you want to make it, you have to put in serious effort and handle the tough parts nobody talks about,” she said.
She added that despite her fame, she doesn’t let it distract her. Instead, she keeps her head down, stays focused, and avoids getting carried away by praise or current wins. For her, staying original and being aware of who she is has been key to staying ahead in the game.
Though she acknowledges the role of spirituality, she believes her drive, attention to detail, and passion for excellence are what truly fuel her success—especially her impressive run of box office hits over the past four years.
Funke also opened up about dealing with personal challenges. She explained that when life gets tough, she chooses not to let it weigh her down or stop her from moving forward.

Controversial singer Portable has warned that anyone who defames him will face legal consequences.
The artist, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, made the statement in a viral video. It was made after his recent arrest over a defamation case involving fuji legend Saheed Osupa.
Portable, who was briefly remanded at Oke Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin, made it clear that he now fully understands the weight of defamation charges and won’t hesitate to press charges against anyone who tries to tarnish his name.
“Anyone who talks bad about me will be arrested,” he said. “They’ve done it to me, and I’ll do it to others too. No mercy.” He was later released on bail after Saheed Osupa decided to withdraw the petition.
Justin Bieber has shut down rumours suggesting he’s gone broke. The 31-year-old pop star, through a statement from his team on Wednesday, dismissed the claims as nothing but “clickbait stupidity.”
He believes the false reports are coming from people who are bitter because they’re no longer a part of his team.
The response was triggered by a Hollywood Reporter article where a former team member alleged that Bieber was deep in debt.
This comes after the Justice World Tour was scrapped following repeated postponements linked to his health challenges.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Bieber’s reps fired back, saying the story was based on unverified claims from people who clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.
They added that Justin is focused on moving forward and staying on the right path, and no amount of gossip will shake that.
The tour, which was meant to kick off in 2020, faced multiple delays — first because of COVID-19, and later due to Bieber’s battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary facial paralysis. By March 2023, the rest of the tour dates were officially cancelled.
