The accusation, made by a production manager, sparked controversy, prompting Salami to share his side of the story on Instagram.

Salami explained that veteran actor Lekan Olatunji had initially invited him to feature in a movie scheduled for a two-day shoot.

However, the production was rescheduled four times for undisclosed reasons, causing significant disruptions to his schedule.

Despite the multiple delays, Salami honoured his commitment and arrived on set in Abeokuta at 2:30 p.m.

He acknowledged that he was late due to car trouble but noted that he had already informed the team that he would not be staying overnight.

The actor further revealed that he had a prior engagement in Lagos the following day. However, additional delays from the movie crew forced him to leave before completing his scenes.

Salami expressed disappointment over the public accusation, stating that it unfairly misrepresented the situation.

He was particularly upset that his business phone number was shared online, leading to a flood of unwanted calls and backlash.

Emphasising his commitment to professionalism, he urged people to seek the full story before making judgments.

“Whether you find me guilty or not, please kindly subscribe,” he concluded, directing his followers to his YouTube channel, TheSalamis TV.
