Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has sparked reactions online following a video from her recent movie promotion event.
The actress, who is currently promoting her cinema film, attended a Behind-the-Scenes Meet and Greet at Genesis Cinema. During the event, a video surfaced showing an awkward moment between Funke Akindele and a fan.
In the viral clip, the fan, speaking in Yoruba, made what many described as an insensitive joke. He asked the actress to bend down and pick up her money, saying, “Aunty Funke, owo yin ti jabo o” (Aunty Funke, your money has fallen).
The comment did not sit well with many social media users, who felt it was disrespectful and unnecessary, especially given Funke Akindele’s status. Some noted that the actress would have been ridiculed if she had actually bent down to check.
The video quickly attracted reactions online, with many netizens calling out the fan for his behavior.
One user described the comment as “very uncouth.”
Another said the fan would complain online if he was confronted.
Others labeled the act as “silly” and questioned why such a statement was made in public.
Some users also pointed out Funke Akindele’s calm reaction, suggesting she chose to ignore the comment to avoid escalating the situation.
The incident has continued to generate debate online about respect for celebrities and proper conduct at public events.
