Zubby Michael Berated Over Outfit at Junior Pope’s Funeral
Criticism from Ossai Success
Nollywood actor Zubby Michael faced significant criticism from Ossai Success over his choice of outfit at the funeral of fellow actor Junior Pope. The solemn occasion, intended to honor the late actor’s life, became a point of contention due to what some perceived as Michael’s inappropriate attire. Success took to social media to express his disapproval, stating that Michael’s outfit did not reflect the gravity of the event.
Public Reaction and Backlash
The public reaction was mixed, with some agreeing with Success and others defending Michael’s right to dress as he chose. Critics argued that funerals require a certain level of respect and decorum, which they felt Michael’s attire lacked. Supporters, however, pointed out that personal expression and cultural differences can influence how one dresses for such events, and that respect can be shown in various ways beyond just clothing.
Impact on Zubby Michael’s Reputation
This incident has sparked a broader conversation about appropriate dress codes for funerals within the Nollywood community. While Zubby Michael has yet to publicly respond to the criticism, the debate has highlighted differing opinions on cultural norms and personal expression in times of mourning. Regardless of the backlash, Michael’s fans continue to support him, emphasizing his contributions to the film industry and his personal character beyond this controversy.
In Ossai Success words: “This is disrespectful to late Jnr Pope. Dear Zubby Michael, this your red dressing is inappropriate. This your red t shirt dressing to the burial ceremony of late Jr Pope is annoying and disrespectful to Jnr Pope. Jnr Pope was so young when he di*d and doesn’t deserved you putting on red dressing to his burial ceremony. The burial ceremony calls for a sober reflection and not a celebration party ground. You could have gone there putting on black or white dressing . I am disappointed though you are a good guy and I so much love watching your movies .I know you did this in an error and I know you will Change next time . One love bro”
