Busted; How Actress Funke Akindele Got Her Twin Babies Through A Nigerian Woman

Published

on

Saturday, 22 December, 2018, Nigerians woke up to a most cheering news. It was the announcement that star actress, Funke Akindele-Bello, had allegedly been delivered of a set of twins. The entire social mediaville erupted in wild jubilation. The multiple-winning actress was reported to have been delivered of the twins, both boys at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles, United States.

It will be recalled that the news of the arrival of the twins was announced by Ayotunde Akindele, the actress’ elder sister, on her Instagram page, @neeceebossladyblog on that fateful Saturday morning.

Akindele-Bello got married to Abdul Rasheed Bello popularly known as JJC Skillz, in 2016. Bello, a music producer, has three grown kids from three different women.

No sooner had the news of the twins’ arrival settled in than many tongues began to wag. The crux of speculation bordered on the authenticity of pregnancy, as claimed by Funke Akindele-Bello. Most people, who prided themselves in being close to the star actress insisted that she wasn’t pregnant, while others were vague in their responses to the IVF theory.

However, barely two months after the twins arrived, fresh facts have emerged on the true story behind the pregnancy and eventual birth of the twins.

According to insiders, Akindele-Bello disclosed that her twins were born through surrogate. Sources further revealed that Akindele-Bello decided to opt for surrogacy after a few failed attempts at getting pregnant. After she allegedly lost a pregnancy with twins in 2017, she was reported to have lost another pregnancy with triplet, four months after.

The sources also disclosed that Akindele-Bello, through the help of a close friend, sourced for the surrogate mother, here in Lagos, Nigeria, and not in Los Angeles, USA, as she consciously misled most Nigerians to believe. Moreover, the sources revealed that the surrogate mother was heavily paid for her service,

And two weeks after the babies arrived, Akindele-Bello was sighted in Nigeria, going about her business. By 11 January, her husband, JJC Skillz posted a picture of himself with the twin boys in a pair carriers, at the entrance of their home in Amen Estate, Lagos.

Recall that a Lagos based pastor, Olagoroye Faleyimu, two years ago, said that God told him Funke would not bear children.
Findings by revealed that it takes at least, three months for any woman who delivers her baby in the US, to leave the country. This is because a series of processes are usually involved, and these take a long haul, especially in facilitating passport for the baby.

A keen observer of the unfolding event, pointed out that Akindele-Bello’s former lover and colleague, Femi Adebayo and his wife, Aduke, welcomed their first child together on the same day the Jenifa star act allegedly had her twins. Yet, Adebayo’s wife is still in the US with her baby.

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.
