Falz, whose full name is Folarin Falana, reacted to a viral kissing scene featuring Funke Akindele and Efa Iwara from the recently released Prime Video movie Finding Me.

Having played Segun, Jenifa’s love interest in Jenifa’s Diary, Falz has a history of sharing the screen with Funke in romantic roles. His response to her locking lips with Efa Iwara—an actor recently photographed with her in February 2025—hints at a mix of surprise, jealousy and curiosity, given their well-documented on-screen dynamic.
Context of the Kissing Scene in Finding Me
The kissing scene is a highlight of Finding Me, a film co-directed by Funke Akindele and Isioma Osaje, with Funke also serving as producer. Released in early 2025, the movie marks another milestone in Funke’s career, blending her signature storytelling with bold creative choices.
Efa, her co-star in the scene, brings a fresh dynamic to her repertoire, contrasting with her past romantic pairings, such as with Falz in Everybody Loves Jenifa. The project underscores Funke’s versatility, moving from comedy to more layered narratives, and her kiss with Efa has quickly become a talking point, amplified by Falz’s reaction.
