Popular Nigerian actor, Yemi Solade has revealed that organisers of an award have removed him from the category he won following his refusal to pay for it.
In a post he made on his Instagram page, the movie star expressed disappointment in the decision of the organisers.
The veteran actor accused the organisers of extortion, while insisting that he doesn’t belong to the class of award plaque buyers in the industry.
Solade also leaked a screenshot of his conversation with a representative of the organisers.
The actor captioned the post, “I refused to pay for the AWARD PLAQUE. This is the outcome.”
In the leaked chat, the organisers wrote, “Good morning sir, trust you had a good night rest. I did revert your response regarding sponsorship to the management.
“However, I think it doesn’t sit well with them as they also disclosed how much the plaques cost.
“Hence, you can pls attend but the award plaque may not be presented in order to save cost. Thank you for your kind understanding sir.”
