Nigerian actress Destiny Etiko has poured her heart out to Funke Akindele for featuring in her recent movie "Everybody Loves Jenifa".

Legit.ng reported that the box queen hosted her movie premiere on December 8 in Lagos, which industry superstars attended.

During the premiere's private dinner hosted by her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, Destiny Etiko opened up about what being a cast member of "Everybody Loves Jenifa" has done for her career.

The movie diva pointed out that her colleagues always looked down on her because she made appearances in Asaba-based movies.

Destiny mentioned that the stereotype made her begin to lose confidence in her craft, and she appreciated Funke Akindele's seeing the value in her.

Funke Akindele, moved by her speech, stood from where she was sitting to embrace Destiny. The filmmaker highlighted that she has always seen the best in Destiny and encouraged her to be deterred by her critics.
