Enioluwa has voiced his discontent with the constant comparison between Nigerian actress Funke Akindele and Hollywood star Taraji P. Henson. He strongly believes that referring to Funke Akindele as the “Nigerian version” of Taraji Henson undermines her unique achievements.

Enioluwa acknowledged his admiration for Taraji Henson’s work but emphasized the need to celebrate Funke Akindele’s individual contributions to the Nigerian film industry. He argued that comparisons to Western figures diminish the value of Nigerian icons.

Instead, Enioluwa chose to recognize Funke Akindele’s impressive accomplishments, stating, “Funke Akindele is The Funke Akindele—an unstoppable box office record breaker. She’s not a version of anyone but herself.”
