Fans criticized the post for posting a picture of the two actors in what appeared to be a love stance, saying it was inappropriate.

Given that both RMD and Oboli are married and have grown children, many people felt that their close embrace in the photo was too intimate.

In the comments area of RMD's Instagram post, a number of admirers expressed their disgust. "Out of all the innumerable pictures of Omoni Oboli, you choose to use this as a birthday picture?" commented one user, @Bignamek. I don't like this, sir. It's incorrect in every way.

I understand that it's most likely from a movie set, but it's bad to bring fantasy into the real world in this way.

A wider discussion about limits, public opinion, and the thin line separating on-screen chemistry with in-person appearances has been spurred by the criticism.

"Na person wife you hold like that dey wish am happy birthday?" said another follower, @KKendobaz. "Nawa o!" (You're holding a married woman in that manner while wishing her a happy birthday? How startling!

As a well-respected actor, some fans believed RMD ought to have been more careful about the image he shared. "This picture feels inappropriate, considering you are both married with grown-up kids," another fan said, adding @Mommy_ella. "To be honest, coming from someone so respected is disappointing."
