Actress Funke Akindele jokes; plans on becoming a ‘hypeman’

Famous actor and movie director, Funke Akindele Bello AKA Jenifa has teased many that she plans to consider a job as a hypeman to ‘rack’ in more money.

The actress disclosed this in a video via her Instagram story, revealing she plans to add the hypeman duties to her job as an actor because it would help her earn more.

Having an estimated net worth of about 4 Million USD, Funke Akindele seems to add more to the count, wishing to declare herself as a Hypeman in training.

The infamous career, ‘hypeman’ is used for a praise singer who works as Masters of Ceremonies at parties and clubs to praise attendees and bring more life to the party through jokes and witty banters.

The popular actress said that actors do not make any money except they are before the camera, and on the screen, while hypemen get to party and earn money at the same time.

She said, “So I heard hypemen now make big money, asides from the club. They come for birthday parties and the rest, and they make a lot of money. So on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, they are busy. Some people even have their birthdays on Wednesdays.

So I have been thinking about adding hyping to my career. This acting, if you are not behind the camera you won’t make any money. I am willing to learn from established hypemen as a trainee.”
