Akindele's response was brief but heartfelt. She dropped a string of laughing emojis before adding a quiet tribute to her late co-star: "May Alex's soul keep resting in peace."
Her reaction comes after actress Bolaji Ogunmola became the subject of unexpected online attention after she untagged herself from a social media post that had spotlighted her past appearance on Jenifa's Diary.
The situation began when a fan quoted a clip from the show and tagged Ogunmola's account, expressing genuine surprise at discovering she had once featured in the series. Her decision to remove the tag quickly caught people's attention and sparked its own round of commentary online.
Together, the two moments reflect how enduring Jenifa's Diary remains in the public consciousness, years after many of its scenes were first aired.

Known for her trademark warmth and the joy her films bring to millions, Akindele carries the unofficial title of "Minister of Happiness."

"I cry. I lock myself in the room, cry, break down, hit the bed. But I just pick up myself and come back to life," she said.
