Nollywood star actress, Funke Akindele, has explained why her marriage to popular rapper, born Abdul Rasheed Bello, fondly called JJC Skillz, was rather quiet.

Funke aka Jenifa tied the nuptial nuts with her beau in London, United Kingdom on August 23.

Although the duo had debunked rumours which made the rounds of their relationship for quite some time, the ‘quiet’ wedding which came as a surprise to Nigerians was witnessed by immediate family members and very close associates.

The wedding had laid to rest controversies on the true status of their relationship.

But the couple, in a statement signed by Funke Akindele’s publicist, Biodun Kupoluyi, said they chose a quiet wedding in London because neither of them wanted to be at the centre of attention having been on that lane before.

“The decision to do it quietly was right for us and we pray for the understanding of our close friends and fans at this offer of a lifetime moment.

“At a good time, we shall look back and in appreciation of divine grace and your support, we shall celebrate milestones and where we are in life.”

Until his decision to marry the divorced actress, JJC Skillz was a father of three.
