There appears to be a dispute between veteran Yoruba actor, Otunba Omo Ajibike, better known as Lubulubu, and his younger colleague, Ayinla.
Lubulubu expressed on his Instagram page that he had attempted to mediate between Ayinla and a friend, but ended up being disrespected.
He claimed that Ayinla had privately messaged him, asserting that he was older.
Lubulubu questioned if respect no longer exists in the industry, emphasizing that he is older than Ayinla both in age and in terms of his longevity in the industry.
He warned Ayinla not to let his status as a cleric go to his head, or else he would face Lubulubu’s anger.
“I wanted to play peace maker between you and your friend and you’re now private chatting him, telling me you senior me. Is anything wrong with you? Is there no respect in the industry anymore? Should we even talk about age of who is older in the industry? Don’t think because you are now an Alfa, you can do anything. Don’t cross my path o, because if you do, you will regret that you are an Alfa. You know the kind of person that I am. Let your head be correct. This is my last warning. Let me just be quiet Sha”.
In response to his comments, Ayinla refuted his claims of having a private conversation with him, pointing out that it was actually the actor who initiated the private contact.
Ayinla stated that both he and the veteran actor are around the same age, questioning the actor’s age.
While acknowledging that Lubulubu may be older and holds a higher position in the industry, Ayinla stated that the age difference between them is not significant.
He cautioned the actor against repeating such actions in the future.
“Baba, I didn’t cross your path nor did I private chat you. I didn’t private chat you, you were the one who chatted me and I replied that as my elder brother I will think about you, but it doesn’t mean I was rude to you.
If I call you my elder brother, Baba we are in the same age group, how old are you? I know what is doing you, you want to trend. I accept that you are my boss and you’re older than me, but the years you use to senior me isn’t long. Don’t say that again”.
Lubulubu retaliated by asking who had the nerve to engage in a verbal exchange with him.
In 2022, veteran actresses Fausat Balogun and Fali Werepe had a disagreement at Yinka Quadri’s 63rd birthday party.
The dispute arose when Fali Werepe challenged Madam Saje’s statement at the star-studded event.
Madam Saje, feeling insulted, asserted that she had more seniority in the Nollywood industry than Fali Werepe.
Fali Werepe, who had no animosity towards Madam Saje, simply pointed out that she was exaggerating. Fortunately, the two actresses were able to resolve their differences.
More recently, Yoruba actress Motilola Akinlami openly accused her senior colleague Kunle Afod and his wife, Desola Afod, of sabotaging her career.
Motilola shared a lengthy video expressing her frustration with the mistreatment she had endured from her fellow actors due to Kunle Afod’s interference.
She recounted how Desola Afod had defamed her on social media with false allegations. Motilola pleaded with Kunle to stop tarnishing her reputation because she no longer wanted any relationship with him.
