“I was Called By God To Be Jandor’s Deputy Governorship Candidate And Change Lagos” – Funke Akindele

Actress-turned-politician and Lagos Deputy Governorship candidate of People Democratic Party (PDP), Funke Akindele has ascribed her emergency as Jandor’s running mate a divine call from God.

The film producer claimed God called the PDP governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor) and herself to transform the story of Lagos.

Funke made this statement during campaign on Sunday at the Surulere district of Ayo Ni O Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church in Badagry.

She stated her emergence as the running mate for Jandor was divinely orchestrated as there were several other persons vying for that position.

“We were called by God, if not we would have backed out,” NAN quoted her saying.
She assured that the team would “change the story of Lagos State” for the better.

In other news, Cardi B has threatened that any weapon formed against her will be greeted with greater violence after being mentioned in Madonna‘s reflection on the 30th anniversary of her Sex coffee table book.

The superstar rapper took to social media on Sunday morning to fire back at the Queen of Pop following an Instagram Post about how the iconic singer’s then-scandalous book released in conjunction with her 1992 album, Erotica helped pave the way for other female artists expressing their sexuality.

“30 years ago I published a book called S.E.X. In addition to photos of me naked there were photos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everyone,” Madonna wrote on Saturday, noting that she faced a great deal of criticism at the time. “Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball.”

She closed with, You’re welcome b—-es,” followed by a clown emoji.

In a series of since-deleted tweets on Sunday morning, Cardi wrote that she felt disrespected by the post, especially Madonna’s use of the clown emoji.

“I literally payed this woman homage so many times cause I grew up listening to her …she can make her point without putting clown emojis and getting slick out the mouth,” the rapper wrote alongside a screenshot of a 2018 Billboard article in which she praised Madonna. “These icons really become disappointments once u make it in the industry that’s why I keep to myself.”

Some Twitter users wrote that Cardi failed to comprehend Madonna’s point, noting that Madge was saying she “paved the way for sexual songs to become mainstream” and that the singer wasn’t trying to insult the rapper.

“I know exactly what she said and I understand,” Cardi replied, “but it’s about THE TONE …Calling me b—-es and putting clown emojis ? The f—!”

In a similar reaction, the rapper wrote, “EXACTLY SAY WAT YOU WANT TO SAY BUT DONT INSULT ME THE F— …nobody gonna lil girl me (specially a white woman).”
