Actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has dismissed claims that she ignored Fuji musician Wasiu Pasuma at a public event, describing a viral video circulating online as misleading.
The
controversy arose after a social media user shared an edited clip alleging that
Akindele failed to acknowledge Pasuma during actress Fathia Balogun’s birthday
celebration.
The
footage showed Akindele greeting Balogun while Pasuma was seated nearby.
Responding
on X on Sunday, Akindele said she interacted with Pasuma at the event, noting
that she greeted and danced with him.
“Snub?
Hell no. Stop the negativity pls. I saw him, greeted him, and danced with him.
Pasuma is my egbon. Pls you all should stop this,” she wrote.
A
longer video from the occasion appears to counter the claim, showing Akindele
standing close to Pasuma, engaging with him before moving on to other guests.
The
clarification comes weeks after discussions following an incident at the
premiere of The Return of Arinzo, where Akindele was alleged to have ignored
fellow actress Toyin Abraham.
