Drama as Lola Idije rejects Rotimi Salami’s kiss advances on set, insists she won’t follow the script (VIDEO)
  • Lola Idije and Rotimi Salami set the internet ablaze with a hilarious video that showcased their lively on-set banter, igniting a frenzy of reactions from fans and colleagues.
  • The playful argument revolved around a rather cheeky scene in their movie script that called for a kiss—a moment Rotimi was eagerly ready to bring to life.
  • Lola, ever the fierce and independent actress, boldly shut him down, declaring her firm refusal with a mix of wit and charm that only heightened the drama.

Renowned veteran Nigerian actress Toyin Afolayan, affectionately known as Lola Idije, recently found herself embroiled in a comically heated exchange with her junior colleague, Rotimi Salami, on the set of their latest film.

The banter, which revolved around a controversial kissing scene, was so entertaining that Rotimi couldn’t resist sharing it with his followers on Instagram.

On October 9, he posted a video capturing the delightful drama that unfolded as they prepared for a pivotal moment in the movie.

In the clip, Rotimi, clearly eager to nail the scene as directed, approaches Lola with an infectious enthusiasm, urging her to stay perfectly still so he could deliver the kiss just as outlined in the script.

Yet, Lola wasn’t about to budge. “Not a chance! I refuse!” she reiterated.

With a mischievous glint in her eye, she ultimately walked away from the scene, leaving Rotimi exasperated yet chuckling.
