“She Charged ₦3.5m per scene for Anikukapo” — Kunle Afolayan Speaks on Fallout with Funke Akindele

Veteran filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has opened up on his reported fallout with actress Funke Akindele over a movie role.

Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, Afolayan revealed that he had approached Akindele to play Queen Arolake in his hit film Aníkúlápó.

He said the actress demanded ₦3.5 million per scene for the role, a fee he declined, leading him to cast another actress.

According to Afolayan, communication between them broke down after production began, despite meeting occasionally at industry events.

He added that when he later reached out to congratulate her on a recent success, she allegedly asked him not to speak to her or mention her name again.
