Nollywood actress Funke Akindele sparked controversy after posting a birthday message on the same day veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, known as Ogogo, was buried in Ilaro, Ogun State. Akindele expressed gratitude for another year of life and asked for health and longevity in an Instagram post. However, her post received backlash as social media users questioned the timing of the birthday message in light of Ogogo's burial.
Critics, such as X users Adewale, Olayinka Mujeeb Adeniyi, and Victoria A, argued that Akindele should have been more sensitive to the mourning surrounding Ogogo's passing. In contrast, some defended Akindele, asserting that her personal celebration should not be tied to the death of another individual.
