How Actor Lege Is Profiting From Baba Ijesha’s Alleged Rape Case

Before April 2021 Adams Kehinde was a little-known actor.

The role interpreter‘s nicknames Lege and Lege Miami were far from popular.

By July 2021 immensely popular fuji music star Pasuma (real name Ajibola Odetola) declared with a hint of amazement in an interview “Lege…Okan di star ni sha. Moving train, o ma crush anybody” (Lege just turned a star “overnight”. His growing stardom has become a moving train that will crush anybody on its path).

What happened between April and July that made this huge transformation in Lege’s status?

Actor Olanrewaju James Olayinka better known as Baba Ijesha was arrested for alleged rape.

The 48years old actor was arrested and detained for defiling a minor on Monday, April 19, 2021.

Lege Miami was one of those that waded into the intense public onslaught the development attracted against Baba Ijesha.

Societynow.ng gathered the actor posted a video on his Instagram page that was perceived to be in support of Baba Ijesha.

The information available revealed that this development got him unwanted publicity as thousands stormed his Instagram page (legemiami) to take him on.

“From a few hundred his Instagram page followers shot to almost one hundred thousand but he paid hell for it as the abuses rained with the increasing numbers of followers” societynow.ng gathered.

Checks revealed that he also got massive mentions on traditional and social media platforms as the “hate” turned him newsworthy.

“Fortunately for him, he took the proper steps to keep the newfound fame for good. He declared his stand against rape, deleted the video that was found offensive, and apologized to all those that felt slighted. And he stayed away from the controversial case for good but did his best to retain his newfound followers by dishing all shades of contents to keep them engaged’ societynow.ng learned.

Added information has it that, it is to his good fortune that he has a concept “Singles Hook Up” that many have fallen in love with.

“For an actor who confessed that the first time he met Mercy Aigbe on stage, he was so star-struck that he lost his voice and his eyes became bloodshot while mumbling unintelligible statements as lines, Baba Ijesha’s case gave him a major upgrade” societynow.ng learned.

Aside from the relevance, Baba Ijesha’s alleged misstep has given him as an actor, Lege Miami is also trying to use his newfound fame to push recognition of his talent as a singer.
