Nollywood queen Funke Akindele is flying high—literally! The actress and filmmaker has joined the viral ‘Holy Spirit’ trend on TikTok, where participants interact with a bird-shaped Holy Spirit. Funke didn’t just participate—she slayed the trend, managing to fly with the bird in her video.
Sharing the clip on Instagram, she prayed:
“May the good Lord take us to greater heights.”
Fans and fellow celebrities showered her with reactions:
- Dayo Amusa: “Otida”
- excelvichairplace: “Holy Spirit carry our Behind The Scenes go 4 billion”
- official _yuzkhalipha: “Holy Spirit handle our highest-grossing filmmaker in Africa with care”
Funke joins a growing list of stars hopping on this trend, including Kiekie, Nkechi Blessing, Samuel Banks, and Mr Lively.
This comes on the heels of last month’s “2026 is the new 2016” trend, where celebrities shared throwbacks highlighting milestones in their lives. From Queen Mercy’s hustle and fame, Laura Ikeji’s endorsements and empire-building, to Mercy Aigbe and Toke Makinwa reflecting on growth and empowerment, social media has been buzzing with nostalgia and inspiration.
Funke’s take? She’s taking flight, literally and figuratively, showing that her career—and creativity—are soaring higher than ever.
