Her comment followed the death of Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, whose colleagues and friends recently flooded social media with screenshots of chats, tributes, and stories about their last moments with him.
Speaking in a recent interview, Etinosa noted that some tributes shared online often appear performative and unnecessary, especially when the deceased was allegedly ignored while alive.
“All those people that post people’s DM when they are dead, if you post my DM, I’ll wake up, slap you and go back to the grave. Don’t try it,” she said jokingly.
The actress also frowned at colleagues who allegedly refuse collaboration requests while someone is alive, only to later pretend they had plans to work together after the person dies.
“DM that you didn’t reply, my enemy will die now. If you try it and post that ‘Oh, we should have worked together, I was looking forward to working with you,’ what I will do to you in your dream, you wouldn’t believe it,” she added.
