- Following the recent criticism she faced from traditionalists, the Nollywood actress captured attention once again with her Yemoja character
- Her pictures also sparked mixed reactions, with many questioning her intention behind her character
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Yetunde Barnabas has sparked another round of reactions barely days after she changed her movie from Olokun to Yemoja following backlash, especially from Yoruba traditionalists.
Legit.ng reported that Barnabas explained that the title change became necessary after discovering that some YouTube platforms were already using her promotional images to advertise a different production bearing the title Yemoja.

While Barnabas, who sparked reactions over her outfit to an Islamic event, believed the adjustment would prevent confusion among movie lovers, the explanation did not convince some custodians of the Yoruba traditional religion.
A Yoruba traditionalist, Rosanwo, openly questioned the actress's decision.
Using a striking analogy, she asked whether a filmmaker could simply rename a movie centred on Ogun as Sango after production had already been completed, reports The PUNCH.
