Actress Funke Akindele denies claims of disrespect, insists moment was misinterpreted as critic alleges, “She blatantly walked past him without greeting him.”

 

Nigerian actress Funke Akindele has broken her silence following claims that she ignored Fuji star Pasuma at a public event. Addressing the accusation, she said, “I didn’t snub Pasuma. That is not true. I respect him and I would never intentionally ignore him.” She further stated, “Please stop spreading false narratives about me. You don’t know what really happened at that moment.”

 

What the Critic Said

 

The controversy began after a video circulated online, prompting a critic to call out the actress. 

 

The critic wrote, “Funke Akindele saw Pasuma at the event and blatantly walked past him without greeting him. That’s pure disrespect.” 

 

The critic added, “No matter how big you are, you don’t ignore someone like Pasuma. That behavior is unacceptable.”

 

Why the Critic Thought She Snubbed Fuji star Pasuma

 

The claim stemmed from a clip taken at a high-profile event where both stars were present. In the footage, Funke Akindele was seen moving through the venue while Pasuma sat nearby. She appeared to pass his direction without stopping, greeting, or acknowledging him.

 

This brief moment led the critic to conclude that the actress intentionally ignored the singer. However, some observers noted that she seemed focused and possibly being guided through the crowd, suggesting that the situation may have been misunderstood.
