By: Abisola Alawode & Jumoke Rufus on October 4, 2013 - 4:22am
Popular Nollywood actress Funke Akindele most known for her hit movie Jenifa,
has been in the news a lot lately. First, she parted ways with her
husband of one-year, Kehinde Oloyede. Now, the mill is abuzz with the
news that she has launched a perfume line. After a picture emerged
on-line supposedly showing the perfume named ‘Jenifa’.
Various news outlets have reported that she is, indeed, launching a perfume line. Nigerian Entertainment Today recently confirmed that they spoke to Funke’s publicist, Ayo Ola-Mohammed, who confirmed the report. He was quoted to have said “It is true; Funke has launched a perfume business. The sample is currently in circulation. When she launches it officially, she will let you know”. But Encomium Magazine also said they talked to Funke and she denied the report saying: “That’s not true. I’m not aware of anything like Jenifa perfume. I’m not launching any perfume. I don’t know anything about it”.
Indeed, if Funke does make the perfume, she’ll be cashing in on her immense popularity from the Jenifa movie; in Nigeria and beyond. She’ll also join the ranks of fellow African stars like Ruggedman, Soundsultan, Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo and Sarkodie who have also cashed in on their popularity to launch clothing, shoes, accessories and lifestyle brands. But how much of this ‘Jenifa’ thing Nigerians are willing to buy into can only be determined by time.
