"Funke Akindele is an insane filmmaker" - Yvonne Jegede notes
The mother of one shared that she's never worked on any project of this magnitude before. Yvonne noted that it was completely different from what she was used to doing. She said:
"It was a great and awesome experience working on this project. It was something different from what I had been doing, and I loved it."
She shared that this was her first time working with Funke Akindele; here's what she had to say about the actress:
"When you see her on TV, you would think, oh, she loves to have fun, play around, dance and be goofy. Haaaa! that's a lie o she's a mad woman (screamed). She's a very serious person when she's onset. And I think that made my respect for her go really high. Now, I can't even call her Funke to her face I have to call her big sis because my respect for her has doubled. She's an insane filmmaker."
"She overprepares for everything" - Yvonne shares why she's scared of Funke
Yvonne Jegede further spoke about her respect for Funke and why she now calls her Aunty. She said:
"Every department she holds down is done to perfection. And I think this is because she overprepares before she comes on set, so she knows every single thing; every department is inside her brain. To be honest, she's good."
During the chat, Yvonne shared that she has no plan to emulate Funke Akindele's feats in the cinemas yet. She noted that it is too capital-intensive, and she doesn't have that type of money.
