Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele became the subject of one hilarious social media drama after some supposed “fan” dragged her recent movie and got himself to an awkward English lesson. The heated argument went down between the two individuals on X, where Funke proved once more that she is not a pushover.
It all started when the “fan,” identified as @OzieSparkles, left a snide comment on Funke’s post, saying: “Just hope this your movie would be worth the excessive hyping though.” Funke replied casually, “Seat at home darling.”
However, it appeared @OzieSparkles didn’t stop there and took that as an opportunity to blast Funke for bad grammar, replying, “It’s actually ‘SIT’ and not ‘SEAT.’ You’ve just proved that you aren’t probably the person writing those queen English in your movies.”
Fans of Funke Akindele rushed into the comments section, dragging the critic for what many considered was unnecessary negativity. Many defended Funke, while others wondered why celebrities engage critics.
As for Funke Akindele? She is not bothered. With her long history of delivering hit after hit in Nollywood, many are assured the new project will also live up to the hype. And if anything was proved by the exchange, it’s that Funke knows how to handle her critics with grace and a touch of humor.
