September 13, (THEWILL) – Fausat Balogun, the Yoruba actress popularly known as Madam Saje, has engaged Modupe Johnson, aka Fali Werepe, her colleague, in a verbal clash.
The altercation between both film stars followed after their attendance at a birthday party hosted by Yinka Quadri.
In an Instagram post, Balogun could be seen dissing Johnson, after the latter reacted to a speech made by her.
Fausat gave a short speech about Yinka wherein she said she has been in the movie industry with Yinka for over 50 years.
Her statement appeared to have sparked a reaction from Johnson, who immediately exclaimed “ah.”
Riled by Johnson’s reaction, Balogun argued that she has been in the industry long before her colleague came along.
“I’m not your mate in the industry. Let’s say it in public. I am your boss,” Balogun said in Yoruba.
Clearing the air during her own speech, Johnson said she does not hold any grudge against Balogun.
She said she only reacted to what she described as the actress’ “exaggeration.”
Johnson also argued that they have not been in the industry for 50 years as Balogun claimed.
“When she said she has been with Yinka for over 50 years, I shouted ‘ahh’. I am not the only one who shouted. People know when we started filming, but we haven’t been in the industry for 50 years,” she replied.
“I and Abeni are friends and we can’t fight, but we haven’t been in the industry for 50 years.”
