How I lost 17 brand deals as a result of online controversies - Phyna

How I lost 17 brand deals – Phyna
Adekunle, an All Stars contestant, recently spoke up about the challenges he faces after leaving the Big Brother house. The reality TV star revealed a list of difficulties he faced since he become famous. It's no secret that fame has its limitations, but Adekunle stated he is experiencing them for the first time as he claimed he can no longer use public transport, go to the market or do anything else. When asked how he deals with his fame, Adekunle responded: "I'll be completely honest with you. I'm finding it tough to adjust because one of the responsibilities of being a media figure is learning how to live. Unfortunately, I am a very different person who enjoys doing things differently, by saying this now means I might not be able to do this again. I always go to Balogun and Tinubu market and I put on a face mask. I quickly walk into the market and come back. "I used to go to the market by myself when I was running my business. So, after leaving the house for a few months and returning, I realised that a lot had changed. "It was difficult for me to acclimatize to it. I used to use public transportation, go to the market, or stand at the bus stop because I wanted to feel like a regular person. However, I have now realised that certain things would have to go for security concerns. The pace is slower, but I have to acclimatize to it."

The Nigerian actress and producer, Funke Akindele has responded to a troll who advised her to remarry. The actress, who recently launched her new film 'A Tribe Called Judah,' has been constantly promoting the project on social media channels. A troll came on Akindele's X page and suggested she married because she is getting old. "This year, try to remarry because you're getting old," the user said. In response, the actress said, "OK, wedding planner." Akindele was once married to Nigerian singer, JJC Skillz. The couple married in 2016 and welcomed twins in 2018. However, JJC Skillz confirmed his divorce from Akindele in June 2022. He wrote, " Dear Friends and family, I need to let you know that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children,” he wrote. Akindele has established herself as one of the prominent names in Nollywood. In 2009, she won the Africa Movie Academy Award for ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’ for ‘Jenifa’, the movie which brought her to fame. Last year, Akindele won the ‘Best Actress in A Comedy’ category for ‘Omo Ghetto: The Saga’ at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
