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.”
