During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Funke talks about the challenges she faced and how she overcame them.

She expresses gratitude for her mother’s support and guidance during this difficult time. In closing, she advises young women to learn from her experiences and be cautious when entering into marriage.
“Take your time, if you rush in you will rush out. You know, I just wanted to get married. I want to do things right, have children and all that. When I went into the marriage, it didn’t work fine. And it ended in a very bad way, in social media, the noise was everywhere. I was actually filming and somebody called me and told me, I wanted to die!”
“You know I cried, lost some good deals then. But I didn’t let it break me. Thank God for my mum who encouraged me to put more effort to work. I channeled the energy to work and I kept saving more. I didn’t let the situation break me down.”
