A report by The Punch reveals that Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has become the center of a social media debate following an on-stage kiss that raised eyebrows among fans. The incident, which occurred during a high-profile movie premiere event, has divided opinions, with some calling it a harmless promotional stunt and others questioning its appropriateness given her marital status. Aigbe is currently promoting her role in the new film Everything Is New Again.
Legit.ng confirmed the viral moment, quoting social media reactions: “Mercy Aigbe knows how to keep the cameras on her, but this might be crossing the line for some.” Naija News also noted: “The actress’s on-stage antics have once again put her at the top of trending topics.”
Echotitbits take:
In the “Funke Akindele era” of aggressive marketing, Mercy Aigbe is clearly using the “shock and awe” tactic to drive interest in her latest project. Whether it’s scripted or spontaneous, it’s working—her name is everywhere. Expect this to translate into high opening-weekend numbers for her film.
