Nigerian actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has humorously addressed a fan’s suggestion that she give her twin sons a sibling.
In a viral clip from her Snapchat account, a fan named Remmy commented, “The twins need a new brother/sister.” The comment, though lighthearted, prompted a witty response from Akindele, who seemed amused by the idea. “Don’t worry,” she said with a laugh, “I have registered your name, and I will find your address. It is you that would carry the baby and be doing, ‘baby, baby don’t cry’ and back the baby.”
The award-winning actress, known for her vibrant personality, continued her playful response by blowing a kiss at the camera, adding a warm and comedic touch to her reply.
While her interaction with Remmy showcased her ability to connect with her fans through humor, it also highlighted her knack for gracefully handling unsolicited advice. Akindele’s light-heartedness turned what could have been an awkward moment into a memorable exchange.
Despite the filmmaker’s jovial reaction, her fans on social media were not as forgiving of Remmy’s comment. Many took to various platforms to criticize the remark, calling for people to respect boundaries and refrain from making personal suggestions about others’ family lives.
“People need to learn to mind their business,” one user wrote, while another added, “It’s not anyone’s place to tell a mother when or if she should have more children.”
This incident has reignited conversations about the pressure often placed on women, particularly public figures, regarding their family choices. While Funke Akindele’s response was lighthearted and gracious, it underscores a broader issue about respecting personal boundaries.
Her fans continue to celebrate her not only for her talent but also for her relatable and witty approach to interactions, proving once again why she remains a beloved figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
