Television personality, Yeni Kuti has attacked Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola for demanding that youths should respect and stop insulting their elders on social media.
Kuti said Daramola is reaping what she sowed as she had insulted her decades ago, even though she was far older than the actress.
Daramola had in a video on her Instagram page on Tuesday lashed out at Nigerian youths for insulting their elders on social media.
She said the unruly behaviour of many Nigerian youths on social media was a pandemic people were not paying attention to, saying it was worrisome.
According to Daramola, in the next five years, if Nigerians were not careful, youths would start beating up their parents because people are tolerating the bad behaviour they are exhibiting now.
Citing the recently concluded election, the actress said many youths grabbed the opportunity to insult their elders, because they are supporting the opposition party.
Reacting to Daramola’s comment on Wednesday, Kuti when she appeared on TVC’s programme, ‘Your View’ Kuti said that Daramola was reaping what she sowed.
“Foluke Daramola, I like her, and I talk to her. But I remember when she insulted me. I just googled her now. She’s 45, I’m 62,” she said.
According to her, the incident occurred decades ago, but that she remembered it because it affected her.
Kuti added: “I was only doing what they asked me to do. I didn’t take money for the job. I did the job well, but the enmity I got from her was terrible.
“So I’m wondering if she remembers. I remember because it was done to me. Now she’s demanding respect. You reap what you sow. Karma is a leveler.”
