Nigerian comedian, Princess, has spoken up about how Nollywood actress Funke Akindele helped her after her marriage fell apart.
In a recent interview with Nigerian writer Chude Jideonwo, the comedian/actor stated she felt her life had ended after the incident, but Funke Akindele, who was on a movie set at the time, contacted her to inquire about what had happened and nearly died.
Princess claimed that crying about the problem made her sick and caused her to lose weight, but Funke Akindele reassured her that life had not come to an end, citing her first marriage’s demise as an example.

Princess, on the other hand, refuted Funke Akindele’s claim, claiming that they are not the same because she spent over a year at her husband’s house before the marriage fell up, whereas she did not.
Princess was forced to meet her at the movie location by Funke Akindele, who said she would pay for Princess’ airplane ticket.
In her words: “Funke Akindele called me and I’m sure she’ll remember, she called me and said princess kilonshele, I heard you almost cried yourself to death. Chude I’m telling you, I cried I became sick and lost weight. I said “ah Funke”, I told her in Yoruba, I said my life is ended.
She said why will you say that, I said can’t you see what happened to my marriage, and then she said didn’t you hear what happened to mine. I said Funke your own is different, you can’t compare yourself to me, atleast you stayed in your husbands house for a year. And she said what are you talking about Princess?
And she said to me, im in Enugu shooting, please let me pay for your flight ticket, come and meet me, I said ah I don’t think I’ll be able to come, she said ah what are you doing, I said im washing, she said kilonfo.
I said I’m just washing, she said where are you going, I’m not going anywhere, i was in that ouse wearing just one clothe. She said Princess mi o understand. Princess, please let me pay for your ticket, come and meet me in Enugu, I’m shooting, we’lll talk.
Reacting to this some fans of Princess took to the comment section to appreciate Funke Akindele for her kind gesture to the comedian.
