Actress Etinosa Idemudia has criticised the trend of celebrities posting unreplied direct messages after a person’s death, describing the act as hypocritical and attention-seeking.

The movie star, who spoke during a recent interview with BTC Podcast, warned colleagues against sharing her private messages when she dies, insisting that many people ignore others while they are alive but suddenly become emotional online after their passing.

“All those people that post people’s DM when they are dead, if you post my DM, I’ll wake up, slap you and go back to the grave. Don’t try it,” she said.
