Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has taken aim at TAMPAN president Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin, accusing him of cutting off contact following his release from prison.

Speaking at an event in Ogun state, the actor, whose real name is Olanrewaju Omiyinka, went public with his frustration over what he described as deliberate avoidance by a man he considered a close friend and senior colleague.

According to Baba Ijesha, he reached out to Mr Latin more than 25 times after leaving prison, but each time he called, Latin claimed to be in a meeting. He said their relationship warranted more than unanswered calls.

Baba Ijesha addresses Mr Latin directly

The actor did not hold back in his assessment, branding Latin an opportunist while also acknowledging his qualities as a person. He suggested that the TAMPAN president's reluctance to associate with him publicly stemmed from fear of negative perception rather than any genuine change of heart.

"Mr Latin, you need to calm down. You are an opportunist. When I came back from prison, I called him over 25 times but he was always telling me he was at a meeting. But I will not blame him because even though he is a good man, he is someone that gets scared easily. He is scared of what people will say, but I need to tell him that he needs to calm down," Baba Ijesha said in the viral video that surfaced on Monday, September 28, 2026.
