Famous Nollywood actress and producer, Funke Akindele has responded to critics of her post on Meta’s newly launched platform, Threads.
Threads is a text-based app similar to Twitter, launched on Wednesday by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Joining the app, the actress shared pictures of herself showcasing her outfit and her love for shoes.
Sharing the post, Funke wrote: “I love shoes.”
Unfortunately, her post did not resonate well with many users, who criticized her for being immature.

Her post did not resonate well with some users, who criticized her for being immature.
Speaking amid the backlash, the unbothered actress wrote: “I can write anything I like. Shebi na me get my thread.”
A netizen argued the app was intended for conversations and advised her against posting about her love for shoes.
The comment reads: “Yeye….. Na talk we dai talk here o Aunty Funke don’t come and be posting I love shoe oo”.
Mocking her, another @cybernatsquestioned the meaning of her post.
He wrote, “Ewo tun ni I LOVE SHOES Bayo. Aunty funky.. we’ll follow you massively don’t worry”.
Meanwhile, The beef between Akindele and Abraham came to the fore some years back after R observed that Akindele always shuns Abraham during birthday celebrations and does not like to associate with her. Abraham on the other hand did the same when Akindele marked hers.
It will be recalled that Akindele had stirred up the hornets net two years ago when she was said to have chosen to premiere her movie, Omo Ghetto the Saga on the day Abraham’s Ghost and the Tout movie landed at the cinemas.
This clash left many fans of both actresses torn between the choice of visiting the cinema to watch ‘The Ghost and The Tout’ or stay glued to NETFLIX for ‘Omo Ghetto the Saga’.
A similar scenario is currently playing out as both actresses make moves to preach their new movies to the public. While Akindele’s ‘Battle on the Buka Street’ is said to be enjoying huge streaming on Prime Video, Abraham’s ‘Ijakumo’ movie is equally gaining attention on Netflix.
R observed that Abraham is angry that her movie is attracting negative reviews and comments from people, especially on social media platforms.
She had cried out days back when she alleged that some people were trying to rubbish her new project by sponsoring hateful comments and reviews through a newly opened WhatsApp channel.
Livid Abraham went on twitter spree, saying “You all think you have monopoly to talk. I’m here today for those people in that WhatsApp group, Ijakumo the born again stripper was accepted in USA and Odeon cinemas and was showing same time Nigeria cinemas was showing it, I might keep mute for other things but when it comes to my work I will speak out.
“You all went to create WhatsApp group cos of Ijakumo the born again stripper, pls continue maybe it’s today I will kuku break the table. You all will tell the world why choosing my own candidate is a crime and yours isn’t. Loni yi mo mura yin wa.”
