Zubby Michael responds to criticism over red T-shirt at Junior Pope’s funeral
Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has responded to the backlash he faced for wearing a red T-shirt to the funeral of his late friend and colleague, Junior Pope.
Zubby Michael received significant criticism for his choice of an unconventional and casual red T-shirt at Junior Pope’s funeral in Enugu.
Ossai Ovie Success, an aide to the Delta State governor, criticized Michael’s attire, calling it disrespectful, annoying, and inappropriate for the occasion.
Additionally, Nollywood actress Angela Okorie, who has been a consistent critic of Michael since Junior Pope’s death, condemned his choice of clothing, suggesting that he attended the funeral more due to her persistent criticism than genuine affection for the deceased.
In response to the criticism, Zubby Michael posted a screenshot on his Instagram story of a fan defending his attire.
The fan, @treasureking_, challenged Zubby Michael’s detractors to conduct research, emphasizing that black is not the sole appropriate color for a funeral.
He wrote: “@zubbymichael For people wey de yarn rubbish cuz u wear red Make dem browse am and know say no be only black dem de wear mourn”
