Nigerian filmmaker Oladeinde Agbon, popularly known as Orisa, criticized Nollywood actor Femi Adebayo for profiting from Yoruba culture.

The emerging filmmaker shared photos of Femi Adebayo in Mecca during Ramadan and pointed out what he saw as hypocrisy, with Femi using Yoruba tradition as a theme for his movies while practicing a different faith.

He suggested to the Box Office King that he should consider featuring Prophet Muhammad in his next movie to gauge its potential 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”.

Fortunately for Femi Adebayo, internet users came to his defense and criticized the filmmaker for his comments.
