New Movie, ‘69’ Disrupts Yoruba Movie Scene
It is almost unheard of to have a Yoruba movie rated ‘18’ and above. Yoruba films are mostly conservative and basically conventional, but the duo of budding actress, Shola Subair and veteran actor, Victor Ibrahim Chatta, are tilting the balance in a new flick, set for release from next week titled ‘69’.
The producer of the movie Pretty Shola Shubair, has been busy on her Instagram page, posting clips from the movie. Most of the clips are so sexually explicit and very sensually daring that even Instagram had to take them down and threatened to shutdown her page. But the unrelenting actress has opened a backup page just in case Instagram follows up with their threat. Interestingly, the new page garnered over 600 followers in an hour.
The movie is about a young pretty lady, who happens to be every guys dream, but she is hard to get because she has everything at her beck and call. She believes nothing in this world can entice her until good sex came calling and her heart was a mess. She reveals.
On why the film is rated 18, she said, “it has raw content not suitable for anyone under 18. It is titled 69 because life is 69, whatever goes around comes around, if you turn 69 upside down, it give you the same thing”, she said of the title.
Shola Subair is not exactly a rooky producer, she has five other films apart from 69, namely: Fatima, Same Girl, Osumefa, Igbeyin and Apeke Ojurepepe to her credit.
The film stars other actors like Tope Adebayo, Peter Ijagbemi, Akin Olaiya and many others.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
