‘Why I’m worried about social media ‘baddies’ – Funke Akindele

Funke Akindele, a popular actress and producer in Nollywood, has raised concerns about the current trend of females on social media who label themselves as “baddies”.

Akindele is worried that these individuals are solely focused on showcasing their bodies and extravagant lifestyles without offering anything substantial.

In a recent interview with Arise TV, she emphasized the importance for content creators to not only entertain their audience but also convey positive messages.

Akindele also advised her fans to be mindful of the type of content they consume.

She said, “I enjoy watching beautiful content, but you have to watch what you churn out. You need to focus on your brand, what you’re selling, what you want people to learn from you.

“If you’re an actor, a self-made person, what are you churning out? You must influence lives positively with the content you churn out. And for you that are watching content, are you watching to be entertained, to learn? ‘A’ is carrying designer bag and showing you on video, how sure are you that’s she’s not borrowing the bag? How sure are you she’s rich? Don’t believe everything on social media.

“I’m so worried about these so-called baddies. A baddie without showcasing what you have upstairs? We need to know what you are doing, what positive content you are doing that people would be proud of. Give us that on the table. Yes, it’s good to showcase fashion. But what do you have upstairs to show us? Are you just a baddie for mouth? Even is you are a dancer, what else do you have?”
