The confusion started when cinematographer Virtue sent her a direct message on Instagram offering to cover her supposed 50th birthday celebration for free next year.

Virtue’s message read: “Hello, mama. Good afternoon. My name is Virtue, I’m a Cinematographer, my brand handle is @virtueshotit. I would love to cover your 50th birthday event next year for free. Just lemme know when you’re prepping and the venue when you’re ready.”

Adunni Ade responded with humour, poking fun at Nigerians’ obsession with celebrity ages while advising Virtue to focus on developing his craft.

She also suggested that she might consider hiring him for a future event.
