Nollywood actress Toro Aramide has criticized her fellow colleagues in the industry for their behavior following the death of Murphy Afolabi, a late Nollywood actor. Aramide pointed out that many of her colleagues who posted pictures of Afolabi after his passing failed to show the same enthusiasm when it was his birthday just days before his death. This hypocrisy, she claimed, is the reason she chooses not to make friends within the movie industry.

Aramide expressed her sentiments in a post on her Instagram page, stating that she can see why she has chosen not to make friends in the movie industry. She emphasized that the industry is filled with people who engage in hypocritical acts. According to her, some individuals are quick to share pictures of the deceased actor now, but they neglected to wish him a happy birthday just a short time ago.
The actress’s post comes in the wake of Murphy Afolabi’s recent passing. Reports state that the actor fell in his bathroom at his home in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead on Sunday, May 14, 2023, at the age of 49. Afolabi was laid to rest on Monday, May 15, 2023, at his residence in Ikorodu.
Since news of his demise broke, many of Afolabi’s colleagues, fans, and family members have been mourning the loss of the beloved actor.
Toro Aramide’s comments shed light on the issue of insincerity within the movie industry, where public displays of grief may not always align with the relationships and interactions behind the scenes. The actress’s decision to distance herself from such behavior reflects her desire for authenticity and transparency in her professional relationships.
