In a post via Instagram on Saturday, the movie star said he had been receiving several messages and calls regarding the viral video, but he is not the person in the video, even though they share similar tattoos.

Bolanle Ninalowo said he would never disappoint himself, his family, and his fans by making such a video.

In his words, “My ears are full already, everybody is calling me, people are commenting on my page about a video that is circulating about a guy, doing his thing, having fun, enjoying himself.

“Some guy that is not Bolanle Ninalowo, that is not Makanaki and I guess having a tattoo is now wahala, I don’t know but you guys should look at my tattoo, I saw the video and I understand that the guy does have a bang but common, I respect myself too much for that and I will never disappoint myself, my family or fans like that.

“There’s a video making rounds on social media of a gentleman pleasing himself, who has an arm tattoo similar to mine. At first glance, I understand why he’s being mistaken for me, but if you take a closer look, you’ll discover that the tattoo details, our complexions and physiques are completely different. I would like to kindly ask bloggers and the public to desist from spreading the lie. I am NOT the man in the video.

In a recent interview with Channels Television, Unlimited LA shared his insights, stating, “Talking about it [infusion of foreign cultures and nudity in Nigerian music videos], I think Nigerians are the most travelled people. I read it somewhere.

“What we do as music video directors is to take instructions from the artists. Some artists may say they want their fans in the U.S., Europe, or Africa to relate to a particular music video. So, the consumer is key. Sometimes, we [music video directors] just put everything [infuse different cultures] together and throw it out there.

“I think it’s because of Nigerians in the diaspora that make us infuse foreign cultures in our music videos. It’s not as if we don’t have our own culture. We have our own culture, too. But because we are targeting a wide range of audiences, we have to infuse different cultures in music videos.”

He said even though some foreign cultures may appear to be “eroding our cultural respect and decency,” they incorporated them into Nigerian music videos to appeal to the audience.

Expanding on his statement, the video director acknowledged the significant advancements in the Nigerian cinematography industry.
