JJC Skillz Opens Up More About Funke Akindele Break Up in New Interview
JJC talks life after separation, and new business

Nigerian musician, movie producer, and actor JJC Skillz publicly broke up with his wife, Funke Akindele, earlier this year. Since their breakup, both parties seem to have quickly moved on with their respective careers. Funke Akindele is now in politics and running for the office of deputy governor of Lagos State with gubernatorial candidate, Olajide Adediran. JJC Skillz too has now gone ahead with the launch of his new business, an app called Afristar that is supposed to connect creatives like musicians, actors, etc with people who are willing to and interested in hiring them.
During a new interview with The New Telegraph in promotion of his new app, JJC Skillz opened up a little bit more about his breakup with Funke Akindele and where both of them stand now as a couple, as well as how they're both moving on after the saga. Here is what JJC Skillz said.

Speaking about his new app Afristar, JJC Skillz said:
The app, you can say is a crossover dating App because you can check the artiste you like and the artiste you don’t. It also has the LinkedIn type of feel. It’s business. Anyone can log into it. You could create a profile, upload unlimited amount of videos and pictures and ultimately, you can ap-ply for jobs. It’s a social media slash job platform. Literally, the most important thing you need Afristar for, is to get paid. If you want to get paid as an actor or you’re looking for connections as a musician or anything at all, all you just have to do is get the Afristar App because without the App, you’ll be missing out on all the activations that other people will be doing. For instance, right now I have up to 15,000 subscribers on Afristar already, which means I have roughly about 7,000 actors at my beck and call. If I continue doing this, you as a content creator, you have the same access as I do. I’m not doing this for myself; I’m doing it for the whole industry which means forever and ever you can always look for your talents from the comfort of your home. No need to book for auditions. Just post it up, people apply, pick the ones you want and book them for the day. When you book them for the job, while you are at work, you can look for free on the App and “where is this person?” And the App tells you how many miles away he or she is without the talent lying to you about where he or she is.
S peaking a little bit about his relationship and how this new business may impact his relationship, JJC Skillz said:
Well, I don’t want to dabble into relationship talk at the moment, I am healing and moving forward and don’t forget I have children am bonding with. Safe to say despite the challenge ahead as a result of the new idea unveiled, I will always create time for family most especially my kids.

It's still very interesting to me how these two announced their separation from each other and just quickly continued on with work and their careers like nothing happened. You hardly see that happen. Well, what do you think about what JJC Skillz said about his new business and about his relationship now with Funke after the separation.
