In a recent development, Yomi Fabiyi, a Nigerian actor, has expressed his dissatisfaction with his former protegee, Bimpe Oyebade, popularly known as Mo Bimpe. This comes as a response to her reaction regarding his viral interview, which sparked controversy and led to a back-and-forth exchange between the two actors.
Yomi Fabiyi shared his frustration about being wrongly labeled concerning his issues with Mo Bimpe, whom he claims to have trained. He revealed that their paths first crossed in 2016 while he was preparing to shoot a movie. At that time, Mo Bimpe, who was a youth corps member, expressed her interest in acting.
According to Yomi Fabiyi, he played a pivotal role in grooming Mo Bimpe for the role she eventually portrayed in the movie. Despite her lack of experience, he went out of his way to ensure that renowned Nollywood artists were not deterred from working with her.
However, Mo Bimpe's recent response seemed dismissive of Yomi Fabiyi's contributions. In a social media post, she wrote that she is currently in her "soft woman era" and is only available for enjoyment.

He made it clear that biting the hand that fed you or destroying the ladder you used to climb up has no justification. Yomi Fabiyi stressed the significance of maintaining a culture of gratitude, respect, and talent discovery in the entertainment industry.
He further advised against burning bridges, deceiving, leading people on, using others, intentionally destroying individuals, and cutting corners, as these actions ultimately have negative consequences. Yomi Fabiyi concluded by urging individuals to be positively desperate and to manage their expectations and desperation wisely.
The situation between Yomi Fabiyi and Mo Bimpe has stirred up considerable attention and discussion within the entertainment industry and among their fans.
