Nollywood actor and producer Olaide Olabanji has publicly accused fellow actress Mercy Aigbe of being “an ingrate,” claiming she repaid him with “wickedness” after he introduced her to the Nigerian film industry.
In an interview with media personality Oyinmomo, Olabanji alleged that Aigbe’s attitude toward him changed drastically following her rise to stardom. He claimed the actress, once approachable and warm, now acts distant and hostile, even going so far as to block him on social media.
He further alleged that Aigbe harbours resentment toward him, going as far as wishing him “death.” Olabanji recounted their early encounter, saying: “I brought Mercy Aigbe into the movie industry. I saw her in a shop in 2004 and asked her if she could act. She said yes, and I put her on. But now she is blocking me. To her, it is as if I should no longer exist.”
Mercy Aigbe has not yet responded to the allegations.
