Renowned Nollywood actor and producer, Femi Adebayo, has finally addressed the long-standing controversy surrounding an incident where he appeared to slap his father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello), on the set of Funke Akindele’s 2008 film, “Taiwo Taiwo”.
In a recent interview, Femi clarified that the slap was unintentional and not scripted. He explained that the incident was an accident and immediately apologized to his father after the scene was filmed.
“I ended up slapping my father in Funke Akindele’s movie, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’ while trying to act like an aggressive thief.
“It wasn’t in the film that I had to slap him, but the character was an aggressive thief, and the man didn’t want to give us money and I just realized that I raised my hand to hit him.
“So, when I begged him after the scene, he was like you would have been in trouble if you had failed to hit me.”
