It will be recalled that Femi had slapped his father in 2008, while on the movie set of Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, titled, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’.

In an interview with celebrity journalist, Seun Olekutiyi, Femi described the slap as accidental and admitted that it was not part of the script.

The movie star noted that he apologized to his father after the scene, but the father said he would have been in trouble if he had failed to slap him.

He said, “I ended up slapping my father in Funke Akindele’s movie, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’ while trying to act like an aggressive thief.

“It wasn’t in the film that I had to slap him, but the character was an aggressive thief, and the man didn’t want to give us money and I just realized that I raised my hand to hit him.

“So, when I begged him after the scene, he was like you would have been in trouble if you had failed to hit me.”
