Popular actor, Odunlade Adekola, is
currently in a foul mood and he has threatened to deal with anybody who
tries to truncate his family life by making claims that are not true
with his name.
During the week, two actresses, Kemi
Afolabi and Seyi Ariyo also known as She Baby, had engaged in a
‘roforofo fight’ over a piece of clothe. Of course, Adekola would have
just been an onlooker but both ladies were said to have claimed ‘to be
seeing him’ intimately.
She Baby said she had invited Afolabi to
star in her movie slated for 10am but the actress did not get to the
movie location till 5pm even though she only had three scenes to shoot.
Because of her lateness, she had to sleep in a hotel and she insisted
that She Baby would foot the bill.
She Baby who was already upset that the
actress came to her location late refused to pay
the bills, adding that
if she had turned up on time, there would have been no need for a hotel
accommodation.
For this reason, Afolabi decided to hold
on to She Baby’s clothe which she used during the shoot of the movie
till she reimbursed her for paying the hotel accommodation. This did not
go down well with She Baby and a catfight ensued. Before long, obscene
languages were exchanged via blackberry broadcast messages and the
actresses began to accuse each other of dating popular actor, Odunlade
Adekola.
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats,
the actor said that he was surprised that his name would be dragged
into a matter that does not concern him and warned the actresses to stop
using his name for cheap publicity.
He said, “I was shocked and enraged when
I read in the news that two married actresses were fighting dirty over
me. I don’t know why they would drag my name which I have spent years
of hard work to build in the mud just like that. I have no idea why they
would even mention my name in the matter and the first thing that came
to my mind was to contact my lawyers and sue them for defamation but I
decided against it because it would turn into another scandal.
“I am a happily married man with
children and I wonder why either of them would make such damaging
statement. Nothing like an amorous relationship exists between me and
any of them. In fact, I have only had a one-on-one encounter with Seyi
Ariyo about two times and I doubt we have seen each other in the
industry up to four times. So, where did such claims come from? They are
just using my name for cheap publicity probably to make their movie
popular but why would they want to do such at the expense of my family’s
happiness? I implore these ladies to stop using my name for cheap
publicity and face their craft. If such happens again I may be forced to
involve my lawyers in the matter.”
When Saturday Beats reached out
to She Baby, she was furious that Adekola threatened to sue her. The
actress did not only call his bluff, she denied using his name for
publicity stunt.
She said angrily, “I don’t have any
reaction to his statement but if he feels he wants to involve his
lawyers in the matter, then he should do that. Did I drag his name into
the matter? Did I mention his name? I have not granted any interview on
this issue and all I have told everyone that has called me about the
matter is that the issue has been resolved and I have got my clothe
back. What publicity stunt is Adekola talking about? I never mentioned
his name; why should I mention his name when he did not appear in the
movie. It had absolutely nothing to do with him.”
