OpenLife reports that Nollywood actor Rotimi Salami recently found himself at the center of a heated online discussion.
He has been promoting Kilanko, a film directed by his late friend Allwell Ademola, sharing photos, clips, and behind-the-scenes moments from the project. While many fans saw this as a way to honor her legacy, not everyone agreed.
One social media user accused him of exploiting Allwell Ademola’s death for publicity, writing:
“I don’t know why you are using this lady to sell film? Please, let her rest peacefully.”
Salami did not take the comment lightly. In a pointed response, he addressed what he sees as ignorance in such criticism:
“Some people comment with so much ignorance.
If e reach your turn, keep inside cupboard or hide the hard work of your late loved ones.”
The exchange highlights the delicate balance actors face when promoting projects tied to those who have passed away.
For Salami, Kilanko is more than just a movie it represents one of Allwell Ademola’s final creative works. His posts reflect both a desire to celebrate her talent and ensure that her contributions to Nollywood are remembered.
While opinions on social media remain divided, the conversation has sparked a broader discussion about how fans and critics engage with the legacies of departed stars.
