Nollywood actor and filmmaker Olaide Olabanji has levelled serious accusations against his colleague Mercy Aigbe, describing her as ungrateful and claiming that she responded to his support with what he called “wickedness.”
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Oyinmomo, Olabanji alleged that he played a key role in introducing Aigbe into Nollywood, but said her attitude towards him changed after she rose to prominence.
According to him, the actress, who was once friendly and approachable, later became distant and even went as far as blocking him on social media.
He also claimed that her resentment towards him has grown to an extreme level.
“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,” he said.
