As she hid her face in her hands, she said: “Shut up… I’m going to cover my broken nail so you don’t see it because I want you to still fancy me.”
She quickly added: “I’m joking” to which Zelah responded with laughter, saying “shut up.”
Fans took to X, previously known as Twitter, to express their views, condemning the “disrespect”.
One viewer commented: “I’m sorry what? ! Feyisola – I want you to still fancy me? ? That’s bang out of order to say to someone who has a GIRLFRIEND! ! ! Zeliah has already shut it down and said they are friends.”
Another added: “I love feyisola but she needs to rest please it’s awkwarddd especially as zelah has a gf and I don’t understand why he keeps entertaining this.”
A third commented: “Like, does feyisola have any respect for francesca? ?”. A fourth responded: “I cannot deal with feyisola’s flirting anymore it’s so awkward.”

One fan remarked: “Feyisola saying she wants zelah to ‘still fancy her’ is weird and disrespectful sorry.”
Another simply wrote: “Feyisola we need to have a talk about these flirty comments.”
One fan suggested it “crosses a boundary”.
Nevertheless, some supporters defended the star, arguing the remark was made in jest, with the pair remaining friends.
Earlier this week, Zelah’s girlfriend herself, Francesca, addressed the romance speculation surrounding Zelah and Feyisola.
She posted on TikTok: “Zelah has not crossed any of our boundaries, so can we all chill please”, alongside a video of her confirming Zelah “is not single”.
