Funke Kuti is a name that readily rings a bell in corporate, entertainment and society gatherings, just the same way Kate Henshaw remains one of the hugely talented Nigerian entertainers, who combines dancing with acting without flaws.
However, not many people know that the two have a special bond that transcends casual friendship. At some point, Funke Kuti’s FK Management represented Kate Henshaw as one of the talents on the bill alongside Made Kuti.

At different times, Funke would readily tell anyone who cares to listen that she surrounds herself with a tribe of supportive women whom she can be vulnerable with, while they lift each other, and empower each other.
Funke and Kate are so close they see each other as sisters, not just friends; both seek counsel from each other, and admit faults where necessary – literally speaking truth to each other at all times.
Also in their circle of friends turned sisters are Ṣòlá Mògáji, and Felicia Oguntolu.
