In a now-viral video, Ademoye is seen confronting a group of men who insisted that a specific amount must be paid before filming could proceed on location.

The actress said she stood her ground and refused to be intimidated.

Speaking in Yoruba, she said: “Omo Igboro ni mi” (I am a child of the streets), before explaining that while she understands street dynamics and often settles area boys, no one has the right to demand a fixed amount from her.

“To ba di oro street, e bere lowo won, mo ma n like kin settle awon boys, but you don’t come to me and tell me to give you a certain amount,” she added.

She questioned their sense of entitlement, adding: “Ko si iyalaya anybody to sise owo si mi lowo” — meaning Nobody has the right to forcefully demand money from me.

She rejected claims that her emotional displays are a publicity tactic, stressing that she invests significant effort and resources into her productions.
