Odunlade Adekola Speaks Up As Two Married Actresses Fight Dirty Over Him

During the week, two married actresses, Kemi Afolabi and Seyi Ariyo also known as She Baby, engaged in a dirty fight online over a piece of clothe. Of course, popular Yoruba actor, Odunlade Adekola would have just been an onlooker but both women pulled him into the war of words as they claimed to have been ‘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.”
