Accompanying the post was a Friday blessing that read:
"May Allah answer the duʿās you have made in private, fulfil the righteous hopes you carry in your heart, and grant you what is truly best for you. Jumu'ah Mubārakah 🤍🥰 Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala ālihi wa sallim 🤲"
Funke Akindele calls out Lateef Adedimeji
Lateef Adedimeji, who is married to fellow actress Mo Bimpe, welcomed triplets earlier this year, and the clip quickly drew attention from fans and colleagues alike.
It was Funke Akindele's comment, however, that set social media buzzing.
The filmmaker jumped into the comment section with a playful accusation, suggesting Lateef was showing clear favouritism among the three babies.
"I'm calling right away," she wrote, before adding, "You don carry your carbon copy."
The implication was clear: Funke Akindele reckoned he was singling out the child who looked most like him, leaving the other two without the same attention.
