For a while now, dating rumours have trailed Nigerian rapper, JJC and Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele. Despite their regular PDAs, both stars have denied the reports at every turn.

Funke Akindele’s publicist, Biodun Kupoluyi once told THENETNG that what they have ‘is a working relationship’.

Now here’s the latest gist.

Today, April 4, 2016 is JJC’s birthday and he’s in London with his family, his mum and kids. Guess who is with him? Funke Akindele.


In a series of videos the birthday boy shared on snapchat, we spot his mum praying for the ‘couple’, desiring for ‘Alaafia, owo, omo, ma feyin gbomo jo’ (Good health, money, kids, I’ll carry your kids).

In the videos, we spot Funke Akindele saying a resounding ‘Amen’ to the prayers, she’s seen giggling a lot and she also shows us her ‘dabbing’ skills.

Below is Funke’s birthdy message to JJC on Instagram, ‘ Happy Birthday#mrskillz I thank God for your life,I pray you achieve more success and move from grace to grace. May you never know sorrow. #ayonio Now where the party @? #birthdayboy #babadudu wey dey scream #awoo #eeyanmi’.
