Despite his apology, Nollywood producer, Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi has condemned Kunle Afolayan's controversial tweet tagging Igbos as the main perpetrators of piracy in Nigeria, insisting that the celebrated producer cum director is not the praises that have been showered on him.‎
Ikpoenyi, popularly called Mr. Hollywood, decided to express his anger against Afolayan, calling the tweet useless and the producer undeserving of all the praises he has been getting.
Ikpoenyi said: "I almost ignored Kunle Afolayan's useless tweets about Igbos being the only Pirates in Nigeria, because to me, Kunle is just an over rated Nollywood film maker. He's not better than Izu Ojukwu, Teco Benson, Obi Emelonye, Chineze Anyaene to mention but a few.

The secret of Kunle is his DOP, Yinka Davies, who does everything for him and at the end of the day, Kunle will just come and announce 'action'… Give him another local DOP and see if Kunle is worth all the praises his kinsmen shower on him. Kunle should thank Peace Anyiam Osigwe for giving him the platform of AMAA as a pedestal to limelight. Trust me, if Kunle walks the street of Onitsha, Aba, Enugu or any where outside Yoruba land, not even one person will recognise him as a celebrity. I will rather worry myself with the Oba's threat to Ndigbo than spend one second of my time thinking about Kunle's senseless tweets about the Igbos".
