Funke Akindele Claps Back at Fan Over Lamborghini Question Amid Burna Boy Controversy

Popular Nigerian actress and producer, Funke Akindele, has fired back at a fan who asked when she plans to buy a Lamborghini, following the ongoing scandal involving Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje.

The drama surrounding Burna Boy’s alleged unfulfilled promise of a Lamborghini in exchange for sex has dominated social media, with celebrities like Angela Okorie, Daddy Freeze, and Portable weighing in. Adding fuel to the fire, BBNaija star Mercy Eke recently flaunted her new Lamborghini, further igniting online debates.

During a live Snapchat session, a fan identified as @Adekunle playfully asked Akindele, "When are you buying a Lamborghini?"

The Jenifa’s Diary star, however, was unimpressed. In a firm response, she warned, “Is everything funny to you people? I will block you. You guys want to use everything to trend and bring to other people’s pages.”

Opinion: The ‘Lamborghini Culture’ – Pressure or Trend?

This incident highlights the growing "Lamborghini culture" among Nigerian celebrities, where luxury purchases are often seen as a status symbol. While some genuinely enjoy their wealth, others may feel pressured by fans and social media expectations.

Funke Akindele’s sharp response suggests that not every celebrity is willing to engage in the hype. But the bigger question remains: Is social media fueling an unhealthy obsession with materialism among celebrities and fans?
