Nothing triggers the outrage mob faster than a title sounding vaguely sinful. Ini Edo found herself defending her movie A Very Dirty Christmas after the Christian Association of Nigeria accused the project of mocking their faith. The actress clarified at a Filmhouse Cinema Landmark screening that the name acts as a metaphor instead of an insult. Emeka Rollas and the Actors Guild of Nigeria backed her claim that critics completely missed the point.

She stated that the plot events during the holiday season inspired the provocative header to build hype. The producer revealed she initially planned to use the slang spelling Detty until realizing someone else held the trademark. Changing it remains impossible because the flick already plays in over seventy theaters nationwide.

Edo maintained that she respects the religion and never intended to hurt feelings with her entertainment. She noted that a rebrand might have happened if people voiced these concerns earlier.
