Dolapo levelled the allegation against Solade on her Instagram.
Recounting the said incident in the post, she wrote, “Years ago, when the drive to become an actor was high, I believed in myself so much. I was going to auditions, getting calls and anytime I was called on set, something about school would set in. I saw this man’s page, I mean the almighty @yemi_solade and I noticed he had his BBM pin on his profile. As a hustling girl, I sent him a request, he accepted. It felt like heaven on earth, I felt like my prayers were about to be answered.
“I sent him accolades first, you know! Next thing I said, sir, I would like to be featured in movies. He said it was not a problem, I should meet him up somewhere in Ajah.
“Checking the address, it was a guest house. I said, ‘sir, you are like my father’ (I was about 20 years old then). Uncle said and I quote, ‘I know my children, and you are not one. If you want a role, then come.”
The actor was aware of the post but remained silent. And breaking his silence in an interview he granted with Punch, he said, “I decided to be silent because it is not an issue to me. If I am a movie producer, it is a different thing. I don’t produce movies. I did not react to it because of my age. I kept silent because I believe that at my age, I should not be involved in issues like this.”
