Nigerian music star Yemi Alade has sparked controversy online after a video surfaced showing her exchanging pleasantries with Nollywood legends Osita Iheme (Pawpaw) and Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki).
In the clip, Yemi Alade is seen sitting on the armrest of a sofa, warmly embracing Pawpaw and Aki on either side. While some fans found the interaction endearing, others felt that Yemi Alade’s behavior was disrespectful, given the age difference between her and the veteran actors.
Yemi Alade, 35, is facing criticism for her perceived lack of deference towards Pawpaw, 42, and Aki, 47. The video has sparked a heated debate online, with some defending Yemi Alade’s actions as harmless and others accusing her of being disrespectful.
