Music Mogul, Don Jazzy, in a tribute to actress Funke Akindele, says his respect for her has grown.

His message comes after the actress faced trial for defying social gathering directives to hold a house party for her husband, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Mavins Records boss, taking to Instagram, described her as a courageous person who made a mistake and owned it with an apology.

“I have always admired your talent and hard work but I have more respect for you now as a person. You made a mistake and you owned it. This takes courage and you have shown all of us that you are courageous.

“As humans, we must make mistakes. Only God is perfect. My prayer everyday is that I don’t make a mistake that will cost me my life or reputation. You have made yours and the whole world has seen. Thankfully, it didn’t cost you your life or anyone else’s,” he hailed.

Don Jazzy added that Funke Akindele's mistake may have damaged her reputation but he believes she has already restored it.

He added that the actress has already paid the price for her actions and hence need not be ashamed.

#WCW I have always admired your talent and hard work but I have more respect for you now as a person. You made a mistake and you owned it. This takes courage and you have shown all of us that you are courageous. As humans, we must make mistakes. Only God is perfect. My prayer everyday is that I don’t make a mistake that will cost me my life or reputation. You have made yours and the whole world has seen. Thankfully, it didn’t cost you your life or anyone else’s. Just a tiny reputational damage that in my opinion you have already restored because you have paid the price with jara on top. If you dey shame, stop am o, because as TuBaba talk, “nobody holy pass”. I pray that henceforth, you continue to be the good example that you have always been to us all. Amen. One more thing, I don dey act now o. Tenks! #IDJA cc @funkejenifaakindele
