In a surprising turn of events, Nollywood filmmaker Kazim Adeoti has stirred controversy by conspicuously supporting his second wife, Hajia Minah Mercy Aigbe Adeoti, while seemingly snubbing the birthday celebration of his first wife, Funsho Adeoti, on social media.
Funsho Adeoti recently celebrated her birthday with glamour, showcasing dazzling outfits and even gifting herself a new luxury car, a move that captured attention online.
However, what caught more eyes was Kazim Adeoti’s absence in acknowledging or celebrating his first wife’s birthday on social media. Speculations arose that the filmmaker, perhaps trying to avoid a repeat of the backlash from his previous birthday message to Funsho in 2022, chose to stay silent on the occasion.
Kazim Adeoti’s notable silence on Funsho’s birthday stirred reactions online, with netizens recalling his past birthday message controversy. The absence of public acknowledgement led many to conclude that he was throwing his support behind his second wife, Mercy Aigbe Adeoti.
The support was not only evident on social media but also at a celebratory event for Mercy Aigbe. Videos from the occasion captured Kazim Adeoti warmly welcoming guests, including prominent figures like Yinka Quadri and CEOs of movie productions.
The filmmaker’s conspicuous endorsement of his second wife’s celebration adds a new layer to the ongoing discussion around his relationships and has further fuelled speculation about the dynamics within his personal life.
