Nollywood actress and producer, Funke Akindele, recently voiced her concerns about the growing trend of ‘baddies’ on social media, especially among young women.
The renowned filmmaker shared her worries that these ‘baddies’ prioritize flaunting their bodies and showcasing luxurious lifestyles rather than focusing on more meaningful content.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, Akindele stressed the need for content creators to convey positive and impactful messages to their audiences. She believes that content should go beyond mere entertainment and contribute to the well-being and growth of viewers.
Akindele also offered advice to her fans, urging them to be mindful of the kind of content they consume on social media.
She emphasized that fans to mind the kind of content they consume.
“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,” Akindele said.
“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?”
