In reaction to his plea for help, several celebrities and well-meaning Nigerians rose up to his aid, including Nollywood actress Funke Akindele.

There were widespread reports that a house had been gifted to the veteran actor by the popular actress, a claim which gained even more intensity yesterday.

However, in a video recorded by actor Kunle Afod, Pa James admitted that indeed he has received support from Funke but not in the form of a house.

Pa James, speaking in impeccable Yoruba said, “God will keep you for helping me, I didn’t know people cared about me like this….I can’t thank you enough…for doing this to me while I am alive….to my fellow actors, you impressed me…..and thank you to Funke AKindele.

“I won’t lie she did me well….but I need to clear the air on the reports that she bought me a house while passing on my street this morning, some area boys stopped me and hailed me saying they will visit me in the house Funke Akindele built for me and I was shocked. Funke only paid for an apartment for me to rent for the meantime……and I am truly grateful but she didn’t build me a house….”
