He wrote:

"What is wrong with this guy? He has been called out severally. I think the leadership of the @actorsguildNg should place a disclaimer on him. No one should pay to be auditioned for a role. It is obtaining by trick! It is robbery! @emekarollas1@segunarinzeaina@Monalisacode"

A visit to Durojaiye’s official Instagram page shows an advertorial where he calls on actors to pay the sum of N35k and join his movie projects.
