Foluke made her film debut in a 1998 series titled Palace. Ever since then she has featured in several movies notably Above Love (2004), Durodola 2 (2005) and Official Romance (2004). In 2013 her film, Cobweb, which she produced and starred in got her Africa Movie Academy Awards best supporting actress nomination. She noted that the film was inspired from her personal experiences, as her parents didn’t want her to delve into acting while in school.

Foluke Daramola Personal Life

In a March 2018 interview with The Punch (Lagos, Nigeria), Foluke stated that she considers her big boobs to be an asset not a curse, “The first attraction for most men who come across me is usually sexual. They see my big boobs and are moved immediately. But as a person, I would never go out with any man because they are attracted to my boobs because I know that it is too ordinary. As far as I’m concerned, women should stop seeing these ‘assets’ as a problem but take them as blessing. It is only by so doing that they’ll know how to carry themselves better. They should carry themselves well and not be ashamed."

Foluke has been married twice. Her first marriage in 2005 to Tunde Sobowale collapsed in 2008 after three years of marriage on grounds of domestic violence. She married her current husband, Kayode Salako in 2013. She has two children from her first marriage. She says her second husband is her soulmate and is happy to have found happiness the second time.
