"I don't know who sent me to release a film with Funke Akindele. Funke can do anything to sell her film. That same film Funke did in December, I titled mine 'The Waiter'. Instead of me to wait for her to finish, I didn't wait.
I met Funke at Cool FM, and the presenter said, 'AY, Funke is also on ground. We need to interview you, and we also interview her. Would you like to go on air with Funke at about the same time?'
I said yes, let's run it together. Lo and behold, the programme started, and he introduced both of us. 'Caller number one, who would you like to speak to, AY or Funke?' The first, second, third, fourth... 17th caller, Funke.
At that moment, the presenter was already feeling sorry for me. He said, 'If you're still tuning in, we also have AY here.'
Another person called in and said, 'Hello, Funke. Is AY there? AY, when are you going to buy ticket for 'Everybody Loves Jenifa?” I said, “Ahhhahhh! I don't know this is how Funke is.'
God later came through, and the guy said, 'We're going to take this last call.' When they asked him who he would like to speak with, he answered and said AY.
He started praising me, saying he wanted to appreciate me for what I've been doing in the movie industry, making it to the Guinness World Records, featuring Funke Akindele in my movies, 'A Trip to Jamaica,' and supporting the comedy industry.
'Please, you're an icon. Don't let anyone intimidate you.' Last caller from Ikorodu!
If you see the way my shoulders rose while leaving the studio, because that one call meant a lot to me. On getting inside my car, my PA asked, 'Are you happy now? I was the last caller from Ikorodu...'"
