Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele had a cheeky but firm answer ready when a curious fan decided to probe her parenting choices online.
The drama began after Funke Akindele shared videos on Snapchat on Friday, August 28, 2026, showing herself and her ex-husband, JJC Skillz, enjoying a holiday in Paris with their twin boys.

The clips came days after the former couple were photographed together at an indoor arcade before strolling through the French capital on Wednesday, August 26.
JJC Skillz was seen affectionately addressing Akindele as "Mama beji" during the outing, and fans widely praised the pair for maintaining a healthy co-parenting dynamic since their separation in 2022.
However, not everyone was focused on the warm reunion.
A fan by the name Adeleke noticed that the children's faces were obscured in the footage and decided to ask the actress directly.
"Why do you keep hiding your children's face?" Adeleke wrote.
Funke Akindele did not hesitate. Rather than offering a lengthy explanation, the Box Office billionaire delivered a deadpan, no-nonsense response rooted in Nigerian classroom humour.
"because Y has a long tail and 2 branches," she replied, referencing the classic way Nigerian teachers once dismissed children who asked unnecessary questions.
The reply sent fans into a frenzy, with many celebrating her wit and others pointing out that the message behind it was clear: her children's privacy is not up for public debate.
