A video showing Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye confronting a group of area boys who stormed her movie set to demand for ‘’settlement” has made the rounds on social media.
The video shared by user one Usmanashafe on Thursday, showed Bimbo standing her ground as she challenged the men who were demanding she gave them money for coming to shoot her movie in their neighborhood. Settlement is a common extortion tactic used against movie crews shooting in public or community spaces across Lagos.
Speaking to the thugs, a visibly angry Bimbo said she had no problem giving them money but will not tolerate a situation where they act like it’s their right.
“I am a street girl, let me tell you. Ask around, when it comes to matters of the street, I like settling boys. But you don’t come to me and tell me to give you a certain amount,” she said.
When one of the men retorted that he had not come to beg, Ademoye was blunt in her response.
“Yes, you came to beg. You are even being proud of it,” she said
The confrontation sharpened when one of the boys threatened to switch off her camera. Ademoye fired back: “Camera that nobody in your generation has.”
