Mercy Aigbe Faces Backlash for Mourning Lara Odubo’s Death
Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe and some of her peers are facing backlash for publicly mourning the death of Lara Odubo, a well-known TV presenter, actress, and singer.
Lara Odubo passed away on Saturday, July 28th, 2024, and the cause of death is not yet known. It was reported that she had been ill for several days before her passing.
On Instagram, Mercy Aigbe, who seemed close to Odubo, expressed her shock and sadness. She posted a heartfelt farewell message, saying, “Hmmmm! Life 🥲🥲🥲… Still in Denial, Adieu Omolara.”
Mercy’s husband Kazim Adeoti, as well as Bimpe Akintunde, Toyin Adewale, and Fausat Balogun, also shared their condolences.
However, some people online criticized them, noting that they had not supported Odubo while she was alive. One user, Erri Tinkerat Gold, commented, “I never saw anyone post about her when she was alive, not even for her birthday. Now that she’s dead, everyone is on social media paying respects. In the name of Jesus, don’t let death be the only reason for recognition.”
Another user, Big Mozano20, added, “Why are they posting about her now? I’ve never seen her pictures before, but anyway, RIP.”
