She was all over social media on Thursday August 24, 2017. It was her 40th birthday.
First, her birthday shout-out from her husband. He wrote:

Food, drinks, fun and Funke got the surprise of her life when gospel artiste, Tope Alabi, sent a birthday shout-out and sang some favourite songs of hers for the celebrator.
This brought tears to Funke’s eyes who wept profusely.
An elated Funke took to Instagram and thanked everybody. She said in a video shared, “I can’t believe they all got me!! Thanks to hubby for the surprise party and for getting Aunty Tope Alabi @tope_alabi to give me a birthday shout out( that made me cry cause I love her) Thanks to all my friends and family for turning up for me.
