Filmmaker and actress Funke Akindele has dismissed claims that she snubbed Fuji star Wasiu Alabi Pasuma at a recent event.
The controversy began after an X user, @UOladiti, shared a short clip with the caption:

“Moment Funke Akindele snubbed Pasuma in public. This is not looking good at all.”
The edited video appeared to show Akindele mind her business over the singer.
Responding on X on Sunday, Akindele firmly refuted the claim.
She retweeted the video and wrote:
“Snub? Hell no. Stop the negativity pls. I saw him, greeted him, and danced with him. Pasuma is my egbon. Pls you all should stop this evil.”
The viral clip, which captured only a fleeting moment, showed Akindele exchanging pleasantries with actress Fathia Balogun during her birthday celebration, with Pasuma seated nearby.
However, an extended footage later revealed that Akindele warmly greeted Pasuma.
It captured the two stars smiling and engaging with him before moving on to other guests.
Fans quickly circulated the longer video, pointing out that the edited version had been selectively cut to create a false impression.
This clarification comes weeks after another viral incident involving Akindele at the premiere of Iyabo Ojo’s movie The Return of Arinzo.
The box office queen was accused of ignoring actress Toyin Abraham, which she has yet to address.
