A viral video from a recent Yoruba movie has sparked intense conversations online, as veteran actress Abeni Agbon was seen in a romantic bedroom scene with rising actor Habeeb Alagbe.
The duo, who both starred in the newly released movie titled Evil Eyes, were captured locking lips in an intimate moment that left many viewers surprised — and some, stunned.
The scene, which has been widely circulated across social media platforms, particularly on Instagram via a post by popular entertainment blog, shows Abeni Agbon in bed with Habeeb Alagbe as the two engage in a passionate kiss.

Though the moment appeared scripted as part of the film’s storyline, its realism and intensity — paired with the significant age difference between the actors — immediately got tongues wagging.
Many viewers took to the comment section to express disbelief, questioning how an actress of Abeni Agbon’s stature and age agreed to perform such a daring role.
Some argued that it was merely acting, while others suggested the scene was unnecessary and potentially disrespectful to her long-standing legacy in Yoruba cinema.

In other news, Yoruba actor and comedian, Babatunde Uthman, widely known as Okele, has addressed the widespread belief that his success in the Nigerian film industry was due to the influence of fellow actor, Olaniyi Afonja, popularly called Sanyeri.
In a recent video interview now going viral on TikTok, Okele denied the narrative, saying he began acting long before Sanyeri entered the spotlight.
Reacting to the interviewer’s mention of the lingering rumour that Sanyeri brought him into the limelight, Okele appeared visibly surprised and irritated, asserting that the narrative is completely false.
He referenced a particular movie he featured in with the late veteran actor Dejo Tunfulu, which he claimed was produced before Sanyeri gained prominence in Yoruba cinema.
