Nigerian actor and social media influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa has taken a firm stance against critics who targeted male attendees at the 2026 GTCO Fashion Weekend over their choice of outfits.
The backlash began after videos from the fashion event circulated online, showing some male guests in unconventional, effeminate clothing.

A section of social media users responded with outrage, with some claiming the images were evidence that society was "losing its men."
Enioluwa was having none of it. In a post on X, he pushed back sharply, pointing out that critics were deliberately zooming in on a handful of men dressed outside traditional masculine norms while completely ignoring the majority of male attendees who showed up in regular shirts and trousers.
"It is a fashion show. A fashion show! Nobody is losing anything," he wrote.
Enioluwa Warns of Real-World Dangers
Beyond calling out the selective outrage, Enioluwa made a broader point about the responsibility that comes with pushing certain narratives online.
He argued that those who want to see men dressed in a particular way should seek that out elsewhere rather than ridiculing people who choose to express themselves through fashion.

He also drew a clear line between personal disagreement and encouraging hostility.
"There are things we all dislike or disagree with about other people, but that doesn't give us the right to ridicule them or encourage hostility towards them," he said.
His most pointed warning came at the close of his message, where he linked the kind of commentary being directed at these men to genuine safety risks.
"We really need to be more mindful of the narratives we push, especially when we know, and have seen, how these narratives can put people's lives and safety at risk. Leave people alone," he wrote.
