Nollywood star and filmmaker Funke Akindele has sparked widespread reactions after a video surfaced showing her playfully berating Big Brother Naija star Vee Iye over her choice of clothing. The clip, which went viral on social media on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, captures the moment Funke turned the camera on Vee during a casual home visit.
Funke Akindele's Playful Scolding
In the video, Funke noticed Vee wearing a revealing black spaghetti-strap top that exposed part of her body. She immediately called her out, saying: "Why did you come here naked? That is why I don't like to have you on my Snap, you are a junior olosho, what is this?" The term 'junior olosho' is a Nigerian slang for a promiscuous woman, used here in a joking manner.
Vee, who appeared amused, laughed and tried to cover herself as Funke continued her lighthearted reprimand. The moment quickly became a talking point online, with many sharing their opinions on the interaction.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
While some viewers enjoyed the friendly banter between the two celebrities, others criticized Funke's comment as insensitive and disrespectful toward women's clothing choices. Below are some of the reactions compiled from social media:
- 9jaintelligence: "Who con be the senior olosho o abeg."
- Sequencedgreat: "Very insensitive of her to record and post this half naked lady on the media, what is she teaching the younger generation? She need to tender an unreserved apology with immediate effect!"
- rotundainsights: "Junior olosho is crazy but clearly it's all love and banter. Only Funke can correct you and still make it funny. That's that Nigerian aunty energy mixed with comedy."
- reckon_iam: "Once you know the person you are going to meet at her house does not have a Husband then you can even go there Naked and you can be middle class OS."
- therealotobong: "Why did she cover when Funke pointed to it? It simply shows these girls know the only reason they dress this way is to get attention but they claim it makes them comfortable..."
- onechucx: "And she's laughing. Does anyone know how to go about adult adoption by foreign parents in a country that people are living a good life?"
- willofgodd: "Nollywood is a breeding ground for oloshos. For you to make it in Nollywood as a lady, the directors or top female stars will pimp you to rich men for funding of their movie projects. You should not be surprised that the actresses are richer than their male counterparts."
- vlog_Mill: "They know it of course, these girls don't end up in good marriage, always industrial tools. How do you educate these girls that having fame doesn't mean you should be stupid."
