It looks like the brewing battle between two top Yoruba filmmakers, Yomi Fabiyi and Mo Bimpe is far from being over as the former has blasted the latter in a lengthy note.
Kemi Filani recalls that there has been rumours of the wife of Adedimeji Lateef having an escapade with Yomi when she was working with him.
Contradicting the reports hours ago, Mo Bimpe stated that Yomi didn’t ask her out until she finished shooting his movie, Oko Iyabo which shot her into the limelight.
According to her, Yomi stated that if he knew she would have turned his proposal down, he would have made his feelings known before shooting the movie with her.
Mo Bimpe added that she isn’t in talking terms with the actor because he told her to either date her or be enemies with her and she had no choice but to choose the latter.
According to the actress, the primary reason for Yomi Fabiyi’s action was that she didn’t make herself available for his sexual needs despite how much he had pressured her.
Reacting to her allegations Yomi Fabiyi simple said that it is safe to say some people will want to destroy the ladder they use in climbing to the top by all means possible and that nothing is as efficacious as Natural Justice.
In a fresh post, Yomi Fabiyi shared a photo of Mo Bimpe and attached evidence of how their conversation started. Then in a lengthy post he blasted the actress, emphasizing that he never offered her or anyone sex for role.
Buttressing his points, Yomi, stressed that he is an adult and it is within his rights to be sexually attracted to any adult provided no force or coercion was involved. And that he has rights to sexual feelings provided it is within the ambits of the law.
He then appealed to her to be bold enough to call out those she offered sex in the industry to get to wherever she is now.

Dear Bimpe Oyebade,
I have attached herewith evidence of how conversation started. YOU WERE MY FAN, I HELPED INTO THE MOVIE INDUSTRY without any condition. Clearly you started with LOVE emoji. I don’t deserve any evil from you, it will backfire.
Nobody introduced you to me Bimpe, you never ask to be an actress, you didn’t attend my audition(I have video recording of my audition). I wanted you to succeed, I wished you well. You RUINED many things since the day I gave you this chance. You are too desperate instead of been grateful and patient. YOU CAN’T TEAR ME DOWN, YOU WILL ONLY TRY.
Please remember, from the last day we finished filming AGBEDE MEJI in Dec, 2016 (which to me look like you assumed you have used me because I made it so easy), I NEVER set my eyes on you until Jan 2019(3yrs after), which you produced like 3 or more movies in between using my major CREW behind me.
I NEVER OFFERED YOU or ANY SEX FOR ROLE but it took you many years to speak that truth and when you did, you maneuvered and still want to destroy the LADDER that helped you. If It was sex for role, it means I shagged you to play that LEAD ROLE in the first ever movie that got you noticed.
I will rather appeal to you to be bold enough to CALL YOURSELF OUT, CALL OUT those you offered sex in the industry to get to wherever you are and stop defaming me at any slight opportunity. ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE/SOCIAL MEDIA DRAMAS.
I am an adult and it is within my rights to be sexually attracted to any adult provided no force or coercion was involved. I AM NOT A COUSIN TO JESUS CHRIST, I have rights to sexual feelings provided it is within the ambits of the law.
You guys need to stop misleading folks on social media. Know the difference between ASKING SOMEONE OUT and SEXUAL HARRASSMENT. It is one thing to think someone is a flirt and it is another to attach that to crime, common, get sense, MOVE ON.
Don’t give SATAN’S CREDIT to GOD. Whatever you earn out of desperacy, lies, deception, sex for role etc, please state it. Enjoy your turkey and let me eat my pomo. You went South, let me flourish in my West. STOP DEFAMING ME!
Yomi Fabiyi.
