Funke Akindele has dismissed widespread claims that she ignored Fuji star Wasiu Alabi Pasuma at a recent public event, describing the viral video behind the allegation as misleading and taken out of context.
On 26 April 2026, Akindele reacted to the circulating clip, explaining that it captured only a brief moment and failed to show her full interaction with Pasuma.
The controversy began after an edited video surfaced online suggesting she “snubbed” the singer during a social gathering.
Responding directly, the actress insisted there was no incident of disrespect, stating that she not only greeted Pasuma but also danced with him at the event.
She urged the public to avoid spreading negativity and cautioned against drawing conclusions from incomplete footage.
Further footage shared online appeared to support her claim, showing a more cordial interaction between both figures before she moved on to greet other guests.
The episode highlights the growing influence of edited social media content in shaping public perception, particularly in Nigeria’s entertainment space, where short clips can quickly spark controversy without full context.
