Adeola Aderounmu, the brother of the late actress, Jumoke Aderounmu has shed more light on his beef with actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele.
In an interview with newsmen, he revealed that he never tried to reach out to Funke Akindele because he didn’t have her number and he was never close to her. His sister, however, had her number and had tried to reach out to her and had even sent Paschaline Alex to her, but all her efforts were futile.
He stated that Funke stopped calling his sister for Jobs and she had tried to know why because she wanted to retrace her steps if she had committed any offense. He noted how only two of her colleagues, Rita Dominic and Sotayo Gaga came through for her in her time of need.

Recall that Adeola had dragged Funke for abandoning his late sister. Adeola had tackled Funke for publicly mourning her when she had abandoned his sister during her dying moments.

Reacting to his claims, Funke took to her Instagram Live to break down in tears as she noted how she lost her mother, marriage, and politics and is trying to get her life back together. She stated that she saw Jumoke’s brother post that she abandoned the actress, which was untrue, as she never knew Jumoke was sick.
Replying to her, Adeola told her to stop acting on Live video as he claimed that the actress only reached out to him when she died. He questioned how Funke expected him to reply to her when she only remembered his sister after her death.
Recall that many of her colleagues had stood up for her as they recounted her several good deeds. Taking the lead, Bimbo Akisanya recalled how 10 years ago, the late Folake Oshadare, one of Nollywood’s make-up artists had revealed to her how Funke was sending monthly money for her medication as she was a cancer patient.
