In an interview on OAP Nedu’s ‘Honest Bunch’ podcast, the
actor said the entertainer, whose identity was not revealed, promised to make
him popular and wealthy.
Remi disclosed that the incident occurred in 2009 after he
failed to make the shortlist for the Gulder Ultimate Search.
The film star said the entertainer had bragged about his
“connections,” adding that “I was not selected for the reality show because
I’ve not paid my dues”.
“I won’t lie to you. I got approached by fruity. Not once
not twice. Not thrice,” he said.
“Before I got into the industry, the first time I went to
the Ultimate Search. I got denied. The second time, my friend at the University
of Ibadan (then I was in UI) said there is this one of his friends, he’s an
entertainer he’ll guide you.
“And then I travelled a distance to somewhere around
Iyana-Ipaja. Never been there. I was from Ibadan. I had a friend on this side.
I got to his place. The guy looks at me. He sizes me up and says come in. I
didn’t feel anything about him.
“This is in the spirit of networking and meeting people.
When I got there the n***a starts to call out names and starts to talk that why
do I think they didn’t select me for Ultimate Search. That is because I’ve not
paid my dues. This n***a sells the whole
‘fruitish’ thing to me in a big way that I was ‘awe’.
“I don’t know what
this fruitish thing is about. He went up and later came downstairs with a
candle and a jar of oil and tells me to put the candle in the oil as a
lubricant and make it through that after he would now come, check it and from
there he will now connect me… my first month I will drive a Benz.”
The ‘Anikulapo’ actor would later win the 7th edition of
Gulder Ultimate Search in 2010.
