Drama As JJC’s Ex Reveals Photos of Funke Akindele’s Twins Without Her Consent

Funke Akindele

Of late, there seems to be trouble in Funke Akindele‘s world and with the latest happening, the drama continues to unravel. The faces of Funke Akindele’s twins have been unveiled by her husband JJC‘s ex, a certain woman named Mella.

JJC’s ex obviously did this to spite Funke who had resolved not to reveal the faces of her twin babies due to the heavy media attention she gets, simply put, she just wanted privacy for her kids. Thus, this move by JJC’s ex would be a hard below-the-belt blow to the Jenifa’s Diary actress.

Mella posted the said photo to Instagram through an account with the handle @snoop_mummy. The said photo is a family photo of Funke with her husband and twin boys seated by a Christmas tree. The faces of her kids were in full view for the first time since their birth in 2018.

Mella captioned the photo “If you don’t want me to expose your family then don’t expose mine. Funke and Abdul Bello.”

Mella’s action is coming days after she alleged that Funke had exposed her son Benito‘s drug addiction… Benito is Mella’s son with JJC. He made the news a few weeks ago after he took to Tik Tok to allege that Funke Akindele was a horrible person and is nothing like the loving person she is perceived to be. He described the two years he spent living with her as horrific.

Benito’s claims were coming after word got out that Funke and JJC’s marriage was going through some troubles which forced JJC to move out of their home. After making the claims, Benito disabled all of his social media pages except his YouTube channel.

JJC quickly debunked the speculations of troubles in his marriage in an Instagram post which he captioned;

“The only rock I know that stays steady and the only institution. I know that works is the FAMILY. London is cool but I’m missing home @funkejenifaakindele my love ? Have loads of fun with the children. See you soon at home. Don’t let anyone spoil your vibes ? #familyfirst❤️ #Bellos4ever #chinesswhispers #devilisaliar.”

Funke Akindele and JJC have been married since 2016 and are parents to twin boys who were born in 2018 in America.

Since the kids were born, the couple has never shared a full-frontal view of their faces. Funke recently explained her reason for this in an interview with blogger, Jide Okonjo. The actress explained that almost everything about her was public but she wanted to preserve the identity of her kids.

“When they are old enough, they should show their faces if they want to. But for now, I don’t want them to show their faces. I want them to have their lives and enjoy it,” she said.

“Their dad and I are already in the public eye. They are children, don’t forget. They are children. They are vulnerable so you have to just keep them away, keep them safe.”

Asake Drops fourth studio album M$NEY, featuring DJ Snake, Tiakola Amongst Others

Four albums in, two Grammy nominations to his name, the most entries on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, and the most-streamed artist on Spotify Nigeria, Asake drops M$NEY, his fourth studio album released on the 1st of May via GIRAN REPUBLIC and EMPIRE.

The 13-track project is Asake’s most sonically varied to date. It opens with a live choral performance (an unusual choice that immediately signals this is not going to be a straightforward Afrobeats record) and moves through orchestral arrangements, jazz-tinged strings, dance production, and amapiano before it is done.

Speaking on the album, Asake said: “M$NEY is a reflection of my spiritual and creative journey. Everything flows from a place of gratitude to God, and every moment that’s shaped me. I stay true to myself but also weave in new creative expressions from my life experiences and personal evolution.”

Fans got their first taste of the project as far back as February 2025 with ‘Why Love’, followed by ‘Badman Gangsta’ featuring French artist Tiakola, a track built around a reimagined sample of Amerie’s ‘1 Thing’ that turned out to be one of the more interesting sonic swings of his singles run.

Then came ‘Worship’ with DJ Snake, which pushed the project into full cross-continental territory.

The full album expands on all of that. Outside the previously released singles, the album includes ‘Gratitude’, ‘Forgiveness’, and ‘Asambe’, a collaboration with South African amapiano producer Kabza De Small. It’s a pairing that will likely draw attention, given both artists’ standing in their respective markets.

The album artwork was created by Iraqi-Dutch artist Arthar Jabar.

One Half Of The Estranged Duo P-Square Declares Nov 30 as his new birthday

Mr P has officially moved his birthday celebration from November 18 to November 30, adding a new layer to the ongoing P-Square family feud. What began as a social media declaration has now been formalised. A few hours after announcing his intention to change his birthday date, Peter Okoye, known professionally as Mr P, has issued an open letter confirming that November 18, the date he has shared with his twin brother Paul Okoye since birth in 1981, is no longer his day of celebration.

“Dear Family, Friends, and Fans,” the post read. “I’m making it official. November 18th is no longer my birthday celebration date. Please note that I will not be accepting any messages or gifts on that day. My birthday will now be celebrated on November 30th. This is a personal decision, and I truly appreciate your understanding.”

The message is brief, but its implications are quite clear. November 18 has long been one of the last remaining public symbols of a shared identity between two brothers whose professional and personal relationship has deteriorated sharply over the past several years.

By formally reassigning the date, Peter is drawing a line that goes beyond creative differences or business disputes.

The reaction from Nigerians online has been largely sceptical.

Many have questioned the necessity of the gesture, with a significant number describing it as petty and unnecessary given the more substantive issues that have defined the brothers’ current estrangement.

The consensus among critics is that changing a birthday date does little to resolve any of the actual grievances and serves mainly as a public statement of severance.

The feud between Peter and Paul Okoye has now spanned multiple years, two official splits, a brief reunion, and a growing list of public accusations on both sides. November 30 is still months away. To see if the gesture will land as true liberation or just pettiness may depend entirely on where things stand by then.
