After dazzling fans at the grand finale of the JP25 wedding celebration in Tanzania, popular Nigerian actress Funke Akindele jetted off with other celebrities to Zanzibar, Zambia, for a much-needed getaway — but the boat ride there turned out to be more dramatic than expected.
In a viral video making the rounds, the actress, who was all glammed up for the tropical trip, was caught off guard by the intense waves during the sea journey.
Seated beside fellow guests, Funke was seen whispering prayers under her breath, trying to stay calm as the boat rocked side to side.
However, the atmosphere onboard wasn’t all that peaceful. A hyped influencer, Enioluwa, began cheering and making jokes, prompting Funke to plead with him.
“Abeg stop that noise, I dey pray!” she said with a tense smile, drawing laughter from others on the boat.
