President of the Theater Arts and Motion Picture Producers Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), Bolaji Amusan popular known as Mr Latin has settled the rift between veteran actress, Mama Ereko and actor Jamiu Azeez.
On Saturday, Azeez had posted a video on Instagram where he accused the actress of “stealing” the storyline of his yet to be released film.
“This past few weeks had been difficult for me. I have cried till I got an eyesore. I don’t know why people envy the success of their fellow humans. I have produced a lot of movies but the latest film titled ‘Oko Ramota’ is the loudest of all. I put all efforts In order to publicize the movie,” he said.
“I fought a lot of battles to ensure the success of this film. I sold my land because of this movie. I had to borrow money from unlikely people. Unfortunately, you produced the concept, invited Aunty Ramota for the production of the same movie.
“You gathered the concept from the clips and snippets I posted on social media and wrote a story around It. My Industry people, have mercy on me. Don’t spoil my efforts.”
While reacting to the video, Mama Ereko denied the allegations and rained curses on the actor.
The 70-year-old also said that she had earlier reached out to Azeez to curse those behind the evil act not knowing she was the one being accused.
“If indeed I stole ‘Oko Ramota’s concept, may l not succeed in whatever I lay my hands on. But if that’s not the case, yet he keeps tarnishing my name, God will destroy him from this earth to heaven. Are you mad? I so much love you but now you’ve disappointed me,” she said.
But on Monday, Mr Latin took to his Instagram page to announce that the rift between both parties have been settled.
He shared a video of himself, Azeez and actor Sisi Quadir alongside a terse post: “@jayzeez_official and @officialmamaereko sorted out!!! Thanks so much, everyone for your support.”
