Nollywood star Funke Akindele has broken her silence following claims made by her colleague, Yomi Fabiyi, about their relationship.

Rather than address the allegation head-on, the actress opted for a cryptic message.
“I laugh in Swahili. You will reap what you sow,” she wrote.
Though she did not specify who the message was directed at, many observers believe it was a response to Fabiyi’s recent statements.
Earlier, Yomi Fabiyi had alleged that his relationship with Funke Akindele ended abruptly after he shared news of completing his house.
According to him, that moment marked the last time they spoke.
“Funke Akindele was my friend from way back. The day I told her that I had completed my house was the last day she ever talked to me, and I didn’t offend her,” he said during a livestream.
He also used the opportunity to reflect on what he described as deeper issues within the entertainment industry.
“Our industry is very terrible. Those whom you think are good people aren’t,” he added.
