Nollywood actor and content creator, Ijoba Lande has asked for mercy after accusing filmmaker Funke Akindele of underpaying him.

In a new video trending on social media, Lande stated that he never intended to harm Akindele’s image and blamed the response on a misleading, edited version of his previous video.

“Please help me. Don’t let me end up in jail. Help me beg Funke Akindele,” he said.

He explained that the original video was misrepresented and that his words were taken out of context.

“The video people are sharing was edited. That’s not how I originally recorded it. I never had any intention to tarnish her image. She didn’t wrong me,” he said.

The comedian added that the amount he mentioned was also misquoted.

“The part where I mentioned 90k was cut and joined. What I actually said was 190k, and I even corrected myself in the full video. It was the cut and joined version that people picked. They didn’t show the full clip.”

He also noted that he spoke about Akindele’s achievements in the video, which were ignored by those who shared the clip.
“We even talked about the great things Funke Akindele has done in the industry.”

Lande also feared legal action from the actress and pleaded with Nigerians to help him avoid a defamation case.

“Please don’t let this ruin my life. What if Funke Akindele sues me, saying I lied that I was paid 190k? Where would I find the money to pay for defamation?”

It was earlier reported that the comedian had claimed in a viral video that he worked for Funke Akindele at Amen Estate for a full month and received only ₦90,000.

He admitted that he didn’t negotiate the payment properly because he was excited to work with her.
