Multi-talented Nollywood actor and film maker, Kunle Afolayan posted a picture of himself on IG where he was smoking Shisha (molasses-based tobacco
concoction smoked in a hookah). The photo was posted without any caption, leaving people in the dark and letting the picture speak for itself.Many of his Instagram followers have however
criticised him for posting such photo on a social media, being a role model for many.His first response goes thus:
“I don’t need a preacher on his page. Preach your morals to your children if you have any or take it to
church, mosque of shrine. Best bet, delete yourself.”
As the blasts from angered and disappointed followers kept hitting at the veteran. He was pushed to write another reply:
“I am not a celebrity neither do I see myself as anybody’s role model. I am a professional and human as well. I do what I want to do when I want to do it.Social media is not for kids but adult. Neither is it a Church or Mosque.My page is my page and I am entitled to display any picture of my choice. For those running their mouth because they claimed to be a fan and buy my film, you are not buying because it’s
kunle but because you derive value. Don’t say because they named today Boxing Day and decide to show your skills. Moreso, maybe some people needs to be enlightened. It is shisha and they come in different flavor like apple etc .If nah cigarettes Or
we.ed nko , you for kuku abuse my mama! Hypocrisy is a decease. For those who love me and my work
genuinely, I say I love you too. Let’s be civil.”
