Popular Yoruba movie actor, Taiwo Hassan who is better known as Ogogo has explained why he engaged in a scuffle with a tout in Ilaro, Ogun State.
In a video that surfaced online, the actor was seen brawling with an unidentified man in the midst of a crowd; and afterwards getting into his car and driving away from the scene.
In reaction to the incident, Ogogo took to his Instagram page on Friday, June 24, 2022, to tell his own side of the story.
He said after parting with all the money he had on him, a greedy fan demanded for more and dragged his native attire ‘agbada’ in the process which resulted in his reaction.
Infuriated by the harassment, Ogogo engaged in a bout with the fan after he dared him to do his worst.

Narrating what happened, Ogogo said; “Before bloggers pick this up, let me tell my side of the story and the truth.”
He added;
‘I was in Ilaro, my own home town, for an inspection of a project, after which some unknown guys walked up to me for the normal appraisals.
‘We watch your movie’, ‘give up money; ‘We watched you all through our childhood’…
All these as an actor we hear everyday.
I offered all I had on me and one of them dragged me by my Agbada and demanded for an amount I can’t pay. I asked him to leave me, he said, ‘Do your worse’. The rest is story.”
Do you pay anyone for doing your job? No. It’s our job too. Accept all we offer when we do. Remember, once a boxer, always a boxer”
