Actress Laide Bakare has said that her colleague Funke Akindele is in the best position to explain why they have not worked together.
Laide said this in a recent interview with Legit.ng in which she stated that they used to be close in the early days of their movie career, but things changed.
The Yoruba movie star added that she does not have beef with Funke Akindele and it is possible that the A Tribe Called Judah director works with people she is comfortable with.
She recalled how Funke could not make it to her first movie while they were at the University of Lagos, stressing that she considered it weird after the actress received a call and never showed up for the event.
Laide Bakare said that she has observed Funke and believes that the 46-year-old is not only decisive, she knows exactly what she wants, and she is proactive in pursuing her goals.
“I don’t know why. We started together, we were close from the beginning. Maybe she works with people she is comfortable with. I don’t know, she is in the best position to answer that. I have also not featured her in any of my movies before. I invited her more than two times. There was a time when I invited her to be my MC.
“There was another time I invited her to my first movie, we were in UNILAG then. She packed two different boxes of costumes, and as we were about to get onto the bus, I think she got a call. We spoke about it and she felt it was best she didn’t follow us.
“For me, it was weird. I started seeing her as someone who knows what she wants. She has been able to build herself and it works with her,” she said.
