Funke Akindele, JJC Skillz Criticized For Hosting House Party Amid COVID-19 Pandemic (Video)
Nollywood Actress, Funke Akindele and her rapper husband, JJC Skillz have come under fire, after hosting a house party for JJC Skillz birthday amid coronavirus pandemic on Saturday, April 4th, 2020.
The video has gone viral on social media, and some people are furious that the celebrity couple who are supposed to be role models “threw a huge party at their resident with Naira Marley and lots of people in attendance yesterday”.
The video shows a large number of people in their parlour drinking, eating and dancing. Controversial singer, Naira Narley and Eniola Badmus were in attendance. To compound Akindele’s recklessness, Marley returned from the UK recently.
One Twitter user, Obi Of Onitsha, tweeted:
-NCDC Ambassador
-Dettol Ambassador
-Did two awareness videos on social distancing.Yet, Funke Akindele Invited Eniola Badmus and Naira Marley who returned from the UK into her house, as if that wasn’t enough, she threw a full house party.
This level of recklessness is insane!

Funke Akindele’s excuse is stupid, it is silly and is actually a shameful lie.
So Naira Marley has been living in your house for 14 days? That restless Naira Marley? Really?
And even if it were true
Why are people in your house for 14 days? Is it a Coronavirus isolation centre?
