Nollywood powerhouse Funke Akindele recently found herself at the center of an unexpected social media spectacle after a hair vendor, My Hairven, photoshopped her face in a wedding photo from a star-studded event.
The viral moment unfolded following the grand wedding finale of Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux. Held in Tanzania, the lavish celebration drew notable figures from the entertainment world and high society, making it one of the most talked-about weddings in recent times.
While fans were still basking in the glamour of the event, My Hairven stirred up online chatter with an unusual Instagram post. The hair vendor shared a doctored photo, swapping her own face with that of Funke Akindele, who had attended the event in a similar outfit.
Her caption read:
“Tanzania called and I answered. Congratulations once again @iyaboojofespris @its.priscy. Rate my outfit. Make up by @alvinoflagos__official. Help me tag @funkejenifaakindele cos we wore the same dress yesterday.”
What might have been a lighthearted stunt quickly caught the attention of Funke Akindele herself. Taking the joke in stride, the A Tribe Called Judah producer and actress responded humorously in the comment section, calling the vendor a “criminal” in a playful jab that had fans laughing.
While the photoshopped post sparked mixed reactions, many applauded both women for turning what could have been an awkward moment into viral fun. Funke’s witty response and the vendor’s bold creativity gave the internet one more reason to smile.
