Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has issued a stern warning to fans who have been sliding into his DMs to ask for money. In a recent post, the actor shared a message from a fan who requested money for breakfast, identifying herself as a member of the viral “Chosen” trend.
Annoyed by the constant requests, Timini responded by threatening to block any “Chosen” members who begged him for money, adding that he does not find the trend amusing.
This situation mirrors a recent encounter involving fellow artist Peruzzi, who faced backlash for verbally abusing a “Chosen” member who had also asked him for money. However, Timini has garnered support from netizens, with many agreeing that the begging trend has gone too far.
Social media reactions varied, with some users defending Timini’s stance, while others criticized the trend itself. Comments ranged from “This is subtle begging” to “Nigerians don’t know when to stop,” expressing frustration over how far the “Chosen” jokes have spread.
Despite the backlash, some fans continued to joke about the situation, with one user humorously declaring, “I am chosen. You can’t block me!”
Timini’s stance has sparked a wider conversation about the boundaries celebrities should maintain with fans who misuse social media for financial requests.
