Babatunde Gbadamosi derides Funke Akindele over failed marriage
Former Action Democratic Party (ADP) candidate for governor of Lagos State in the 2019 general elections and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the October 2020 by-election for the Lagos-East Senatorial District, Babatunde Gbadamosi, has openly made fun of Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele-Bello over her failed marriage. In addition, Babatunde and Funke are related. Due to his marriage to Shade Balogun, the original owner of the company, Babatunde paraded himself as the chairman and CEO of Redbrick Homes International Limited, the promoters and developers of Amen Estate. Babatunde introduced Funke to his now-divorced wife Shade to help with publicity for AMEN estate in exchange for a discount on her own housing unit. Unfortunately, his marriage to Shade ended when he impregnanted Yinka Balogun, a UK-based woman. Regarding the division of their shared assets, both parties are currently in court. The union was Shade’s third and Babatunde’s second attempts at love. Funke, on the other hand, opted to support Shade rather than side with her relative and consistently cut off communication with Babatunde. It is claimed that Babatunde complained vehemently about Funke’s betrayal in spite of all he had done for her. -
