Oladeinde Agbon, a Nigerian filmmaker commonly known as Orisa, has strongly criticized Nollywood actor Femi Adebayo for exploiting Yoruba culture while practicing a different religious faith.

In a social media post, the aspiring filmmaker shared pictures of Femi Adebayo in Mecca during Ramadan, highlighting what he perceives as hypocrisy in using Yoruba tradition as a storyline for movies while following a different religious path.

Orisa suggested that Femi Adebayo should consider featuring Prophet Muhammad in his next film to assess its commercial success.

“Worshipping the Arab god after making mad money from telling a story from isese.

Baba abeg next time na Prophet Muhammad story make you make into a movie for us, make we see how much an Arab story will fetch you”.

Luckily for Femi Adebayo, netizens came to his defense as they slammed the filmmaker.
