Award-winning actress Adunni Ade has denied making a statement about her beauty and popularity hindering her marriage prospects.
A viral social media post attributed a quote to her, stating that she regretted not being married despite her good looks and popularity.
However, Adunni Ade quickly responded, calling the quote fabricated and demanding the post be removed within 24 hours to avoid legal action.
In her statement on X, Adunni Ade expressed frustration over the misuse of her name for generating engagement and emphasised that the quote was not from any verified interview or publication.
“I kindly request that you take down this post within 24 hours to prevent further action involving my legal team. I do not appreciate the fact that you’re using my name to peddle false news & articles with no verifiable source just to generate engagement,” she wrote.
She added on Instagram: “Trouble sleeping, yanga go wake am. Wetin you dey find? Na Palava you dey find, na palava you go see!”
She also referenced her last media interview in September 2024 for the movie “Tokunbo” and urged the outlet to refrain from using her name for social media engagement.
