    Funke Kuti is a name that readily rings a bell in corporate, entertainment and society gatherings, just the same way Kate Henshaw remains one of the hugely talented Nigerian entertainers, who combines dancing with acting without flaws.

    However, not many people know that the two have a special bond that transcends casual friendship. At some point, Funke Kuti’s FK Management represented Kate Henshaw as one of the talents on the bill alongside Made Kuti.

    At different times, Funke would readily tell anyone who cares to listen that she surrounds herself with a tribe of supportive women whom she can be vulnerable with, while they lift each other, and empower each other.

    Funke and Kate are so close they see each other as sisters, not just friends; both seek counsel from each other, and admit faults where necessary – literally speaking truth to each other at all times.

    Also in their circle of friends turned sisters are Ṣòlá Mògáji, and Felicia Oguntolu.

  • No marriage on Funke Kuti’s card

    Funke Kuti, the beautiful former wife of Afro music star, Femi Kuti, wakes up every morning telling herself never to be in a hurry or lose her inner peace, even if the world is crashing. Since her marriage to Femi collapsed, she has moved on with her life, relishing her status as a single mother.

    Femi had said that marrying her was a mistake since he does not believe in the marriage institution. Funke, the ravishing beauty who oversees multiple and strategic departments at the lottery company, NSI, believes that challenges are there to be conquered and conquering them guarantees one’s progress in life.

    No more is Funke nostalgic about the companionship that comes with being married. She is used to her independence and is no longer in a hurry to give that up any time soon. She is focused now on being a good mother to her son, Made, who she bore for Femi. The two ‘exes’ have put negative feelings aside and have come to terms with what fate has thrown their way.
