Funke Akindele Voices Concerns Over Social Media ‘Baddies’

Published

on

Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has expressed her worries regarding the rising trend of ‘baddies’ among females on social media.

The acclaimed filmmaker shared her views during a recent interview with Arise TV, highlighting her concerns that the ‘baddies’ trend, which involves flaunting bodies and luxurious lifestyles online, lacks substance.

Akindele stressed the need for content creators to disseminate positive messages rather than merely providing entertainment.

She emphasised the importance of mindful content consumption. “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,” she stated.

She urged actors and self-made individuals to produce content that positively influences lives. Akindele questioned the authenticity of the lavish lifestyles often portrayed on social media, advising fans not to believe everything they see. “A is carrying a designer bag and showing you on video, but how sure are you that she’s not borrowing the bag? How sure are you that she’s rich? Don’t believe everything on social media,” she warned.

Akindele’s main concern is the superficiality associated with the ‘baddies’ trend. “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 creating that people would be proud of. Yes, it’s good to showcase fashion. But what do you have upstairs to show us? Are you just a baddie for mouth? Even if you are a dancer, what else do you have?”

In her closing remarks, Akindele called for a shift towards more meaningful and educational content on social media, encouraging both creators and consumers to strive for substance and authenticity.
