Yemi Solade apologizes for slapping Afeez Owo after 20 years
By Tosin Brown –
Popular Nollywood actor, Yemi Solade, has tendered a public apology to actor, director, and producer Afeez Owo for slapping him on a movie set over two decades ago.
Solade made the apology during a recent interview, recounting the incident that happened in Ibadan.
The actor revealed that during a film shoot more than 20 years ago, he had an altercation with Afeez, who was serving as the production manager, and ended up slapping him.
He said, “Let me apologise to actor Afeez Abiodun, whom I once slapped many years back. He was the production manager of the movie. It was over 20 years ago, but I can’t recall the exact year.
“When we finished filming in Ibadan, there was a blackout. He was the one we would lay our frustrations on as the production manager. I got infuriated because he wasn’t taking me seriously, and that slap came from nowhere, in the dark. I didn’t like that.”
“Afeez, I’m sorry. Don’t be offended with me. I have discussed the incident with people before now, but let me just speak to Afeez directly,” he stated.
