The Nollywood filmmaker accused the Twitter user of watching a pirated version of his latest Netflix film, 'Citation'.
Kunle Afolayan has called out an overzealous film lover for watching a pirated copy of his newly released film, 'Citation'.
In the trending tweet, the Twitter user with the handle @iam_Muideen critiqued the non French translation in the movie. Unfortunately, the observation pointed out that his source was clearly not Netflix as the platform is currently streaming a fully subtitled film.
It turns out Afolayan was in no mood to let the observation go and went ballistic. He tweeted, "You are a very stupid idiot. That’s what you get if you keep downloading films from unauthorized streaming platforms".
