Yul Edochie is facing backlash for celebrating Seyi Tinubu’s birthday on Instagram, with many netizens accusing him of “forcing friendship”.
The actor’s post, which referred to Seyi Tinubu as his “brother and friend” and the “First Son of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” didn’t sit well with followers.
Some commenters mocked Yul Edochie’s attempt to associate himself with Seyi Tinubu, suggesting that taking a single photo together doesn’t equate to a close relationship.
Others took the opportunity to throw shade at Yul Edochie’s personal life, referencing his past controversies. Despite the criticism, some commenters did wish Seyi Tinubu a happy birthday and expressed admiration for him.
