Etinosa Idemudia has sparked reactions online after criticizing people who share private messages and emotional tributes only after someone dies.
Speaking during a recent podcast, the actress condemned the growing trend of posting unreplied direct messages to deceased celebrities for social media attention.
According to her, many colleagues ignore people while they are alive but suddenly become emotional online after their death.
Etinosa warned against sharing her private messages if she dies, joking that she would “wake up and slap” anyone who attempted it.
The actress also criticized movie producers and colleagues who allegedly refuse to collaborate with actors during their lifetime but later post emotional tributes after their passing.
Her comments come amid discussions surrounding the reported death of actor Alex Ekubo, which triggered several celebrity tributes online.
The statement has since generated mixed reactions, with many Nigerians agreeing that some public tributes appear insincere.
