Yoruba actor, YomiFash Lanso, was nearly mobbed by his fans at D’Rovans Hotel in Ibadan area on Thursday afternoon.
Eye
witness accounts had it that Fash-Lanso, in company with one of his
colleagues at a fashion school in the area, was sighted by few students
of the school and asked him and his colleague for autographs, but he
bluntly refused their requests despite all pleas.
According to
witnesses, his colleague complied while Fash-Lanso did not, prompting
the school’s proprietor to appeal to him to give the students his
autograph.
To the students, proprietor and passers-bye’s
amazement, the actor declined to sign any autograph, saying he would not
give his autograph.
Within the twinkle of an eye, amazement turned into fury as the fans nearly mobbed him, calling him names.
One
of the witnesses said that the actor’s reaction did not surprise him as
he had heard from many that the actor was an arrogant person.
“I
have always heard that YomiFash-Lanso is arrogant but I did not believe
it until now. I used to like him, but with that display he showed, he’s
really a …”
Another quipped that; “I don’t understand why people
would want an autograph from him. The guy is too full of himself and
it’s not as if he acts that well. We have seen the likes of Oga Bello,
Ogogo, Yinka Quadri and Funsho Adeolu come personally down to greet us
and sign autographs for us here. It is a shame that an actor would
display this kind of pride and arrogance to his fans. Doesn’t he know
that without his fans, he is nothing?”
It took the intervention
of the school proprietor, the actor’s colleague and some other people in
the vicinity to prevail upon the fans who had made up their minds to
deal with him.
