Last night, Wycombe beat Oxford United 2-1 in the League One play-off final on Monday to secure their place in the England second tier.
Joe Jacobson sealing the win when he converted a penalty in the 79th minute for Wycombe.
Akinfenwa, 38, joined the club in 2016 after leaving Wimbledon.
"Look, look, let me calm down. First and foremost, I want to thank God, because today he made the impossible possible," he said in his post-match interview with Sky Sports.
"Four years ago I stood in front of you and I was technically unemployed.
"Let me tell you something, the only person that can hit me up on WhatsApp this time is Klopp, so we can celebrate together. You get me? Oi!"
Akinfenwa came off the bench to play the final 30 minutes of the game, but he has netted 10 goals in 32 appearances in 2019-20 and this season he became the club's top goalscorer in the EFL era.
"There's a time for me to speak on that, and I will speak on it," he added. "Life in football is all about opinions. Someone gave their opinion on me, and that was their opinion.
"I hope my story shows that the only opinion that matters is the opinion you have about yourself.
"I was lucky and blessed to find a manager and players who believed in me, so we are here today, and I'll say it for the people in the back: Wycombe's in the Championship.
"Wait, wait, I'll say it one more time: Wycombe is in the Champio- Wait! The people in the back didn't hear me! Wycombe is in the Championship!"
