Isbae U responded: “You choose not to produce because you’re not a risk-taker.”
Yemi replied: “Why should I take risks with my life?”
Isbae U: “People are taking risks with you by putting you in movies.”
Yemi: “I don’t have that liver. You produced Curiosity Made Me Ask, and we celebrate you for that, but don’t go beyond that. Have you ever featured in any serious movie in your life? That people have had to buy tickets to go and watch in cinemas. Even your father didn’t appear in one solid movie or cinema movie.”
Isbae U responded: “My daddy was a very good actor.”
Yemi replied: “Who told you? Your father was a stuck actor. He was only playing omo ita period (he only acted as a tout).”
Isbae U asked, “Sir, Kay Kamoru is not a good actor?”
Yemi answered, “No, no, he was not a good actor, but he acted.”
Giving up on the conversation, Isbae U responded, “I can’t fight his battle for him.”
eelive.ng reports that the late Sir Kay was a prominent figure in the Yoruba film industry. He was known for playing bad boy roles with his unique slang.
He died in December 2022.
