Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has dismissed claims that she ignored popular fuji musician, Pasuma, during a recent event in Lagos.

In the clip, the actress appeared not to respond, prompting speculation that she deliberately snubbed the music star.
An X (formerly Twitter) user, Uoladiti, shared the video with a caption suggesting the interaction reflected poorly on Akindele, further fueling online reactions.
