Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has boldly stood her ground after a group of area boys disrupted her outdoor film shoot and demanded money from her.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
reports that a video of the incident has gone viral on , showing the moment the actress confronted the men during the shoot. In the clip, the men are seen approaching the set and insisting on a “settlement,” a common form of extortion reportedly targeted at film crews working in public spaces across Lagos. Ademoye, speaking in a blend of English and Nigerian Pidgin, made it clear she was not opposed to appreciating people around her set but would not accept forceful demands. “I am a street girl, let me tell you. Ask around, when it comes to matters of the street, I like settling boys. But you don’t come to me and tell me to give you a certain amount,” she said. When one of the men insisted he was not there to beg, she quickly countered, saying: “Yes, you came to beg. You are even being proud of it.” Tension rose when one of the men threatened to turn off her camera, prompting Ademoye to respond sharply: “Camera that nobody in your generation has.” Although the confrontation was tense, the situation did not escalate physically, and no weapons were seen in the video. The shoot was visibly disrupted by the presence and demands of the group. The incident has since generated reactions online, with many social media users praising the actress for her calmness, confidence, and refusal to be intimidated during the encounter.
Social media personality and Oyo-based herbal vendor, Eniola Fagbemi, widely known as Sisi Alagbo, has issued a public apology following the circulation of a private video online.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that she reacted to the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday, where she admitted responsibility and expressed regret over the controversy.
Sisi Alagbo said she was deeply sorry to anyone who felt hurt or disappointed by the video.
In her words, “I own my mistakes, and I apologise with all sincerity for the video circulating online. I am deeply sorry to everyone who felt disappointed in me.”
She also disclosed that the backlash has had a serious impact on her emotional health, saying she has been unable to eat or sleep properly since the video went viral.
“I am already passing through a lot. I can’t eat or sleep for days. Even sleeping medicines aren’t working for me any longer,” she said.
Appealing for forgiveness and understanding, she added, “Please forgive me. I don’t want to injure myself. I only have a little strength left.”
The incident adds to a growing trend of leaked private videos involving public figures in Nigeria, with personalities such as Tiwa Savage and Moyo Lawal previously facing similar situations.
Ace Nigerian rapper, Olamide Gbenga Adedeji, popularly known as Olamide, has opened up about how traumatic past experiences have made him anxious about performing on stage.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, the award-winning rapper recalled unsettling incidents during live performances, including moments where fans rushed the stage and attempted to snatch items like his chain or hat. He described the experiences as frightening, adding that they have continued to affect his confidence whenever he steps on stage. “I get nervous every time I am going on the stage. I have had too many crazy experiences while performing. Someone from nowhere will just come and grab your chain or your hat, you don’t even know what to expect,” he said. Meanwhile, Asake has reaffirmed that he still holds deep respect and loyalty for his former record label boss, Olamide, despite ongoing speculation about a fallout between them. The singer addressed the rumours in the same interview with Korty EO, insisting there is no bad blood between them. Speculation about a rift began in December 2024 after Asake removed YBNL from his Instagram bio and unfollowed Olamide, moves that fueled reports of a split. He later went on to establish his own record label, Giran Republic, a decision that sparked widespread reactions and questions within the music industry about the status of their relationship.
