Veteran Nollywood actor Yemi Solade and his colleague, Afeez Owo
Actor Yemi Solade publicly apologises for slapping colleague Afeez Owo 20 years ago
Veteran Nollywood actor Yemi Solade has openly apologised to his colleague, Afeez Owo, for slapping him during a movie shoot over two decades ago.
Speaking on Behind the Fame African A-List, Yemi recalled the incident, which happened on the outskirts of Ibadan while filming a movie. At the time, Afeez was serving as the production manager on set.
According to Yemi, after wrapping up shooting for the day, the town experienced a blackout and he felt Afeez didn’t take his complaints seriously. The tension escalated and, in his words, the slap “came from nowhere in the dark.”

He admitted the act was wrong and expressed deep regret.
“Afeez, I’m sorry, ma binu simi,” he said during the interview.
“It’s been a long time, like 20 years. I slapped him once. I didn’t like that I did. I’ve mentioned it to some people in the past, but I felt I should say it directly to him.”
The actor also noted that while he dislikes insults — something he says might be his weakness.
