Movie marketer, Seun Egbegbe’s road to infamy was discovered after his romance with actress, Toyin Aimakhu, which ended in bad blood. So much acerbic remarks against the actress, he also allegedly told his friends in film making and marketing to shun the actress the next time they’re casting actors for juicy roles.
Egbegbe’s clout in the industry is not in doubt as he had promoted artistes like Alhaji Wasiu Alabi (Pasuma), Alhaji Sule Alao Malaika, Remi Aluko, Taye Currency, Wale Tekoma, Lanre Teriba (Atorise) among a host of others.
After he was accused of snatching Toyin from her estranged hubby, Adeniyi Johnson, the lanky showbiz promoter reacts; “First, I never snatched Toyin Aimakhu from anybody. Toyin and I have not just known each other. We have been dating ever before she knew her husband.
That was about 15 years ago even before her husband started acting. And recently, when we now met again, she wasn’t with her husband anymore before we rekindled our romance.
He also denied an introduction with Toyin:“There was nothing like that. The day Toyin and I went to Ibadan, it wasn’t for any introduction. What happened that day was that my friend, Kay, who is based in the UK, was staging a funeral for his grandmother.
That’s the reason we went to Ibadan. And we both put on the ankara aso ebi for the event.
It was the ankara that people saw that day and started peddling the rumour that we went for introduction because Toyin’s parents are also based in Ibadan,” he said.
