‘You are ingrates’ – Olasco Films blasts Okunnu, Austin Emmanuel for calling him out [VIDEO]
Veteran movie marketer, Akeem Olatunji Balogun, popularly known as Olasco Films, has described actors Okunnu and Austin Emmanuel as ingrates.
He stated this while reacting to allegations against him by the actors during their recent interview.
DAILY POST reports that Okunnu had some days ago called out Olasco Films over a movie he produced for him 16 years ago.
Okunnu who accused Olasco of pocketing all the money made from the movie, said, “I haven’t forgiven Olasco.”
This came a few months after actor Austin Emmanuel accused Olasco Films and his close associate, Toymax Films, of blacklisting him in the industry.
Austin who has been away from the screen for years, also accused Toymax of sleeping with his girlfriend named Aisha Raji.
However, reacting to the allegations, Olasco in an Interview with actor Tunde Ola-Yusuf, called Okunnu and Austin Emmanuel ingrates.
While explaining that he gave Okunnu N2 million to produce the movie for him, he narrated his contribution to Austin Emmanuel’s career.
“Okunnu is like a blind man using a walking stick, and when he regained his sight, he threw away the walking stick that was guiding him when he was blind. That’s who he is for him to say he worked for me without pay. Okunnu collected N2 million from me to produce the movie for me 16 years ago. As at that time, production only cost between N700,000 to N1 million.
“Austin Emmanuel wants to trend with my name. I assisted him to advertise the very movie that made him famous in my films, so he’s an ingrate,” he said.
