Actress, Bukola Oluyemi, popularly known as Labeauty, has alleged that a popular film marketer has threatened to kill her for posting on the social media details of their soured relationship.

The actress said on facebook that the marketer has not lived up to their agreement that he should pay her a certain amount of money for distributing one of her movies.

The actress, during the week, called on Nigerians to come to her aid, saying that, “aside the fact that the marketer has insisted not to pay me, he has also threatened to assassinate me.”

Labeauty wrote: “people of Nigeria, this man is the marketer of one of my movies. He is owning me for the payment of my movie, yet he threatened to get me assassinated if I disturb him for my money. He is a dream killer and a dubious man. Now I know why there is untimely death in Nollywood; please share to save a soul.”

The post, which has generated reactions, has spurred the actress to take legal steps to get her money from the marketer.

In a conversation with R, the actress lamented that she was actually bitten by the dog used in the movie, “aside the money I spent and my sleepless nights. However, he sold it to YouTube, Multi Choice, on DVDs without paying me a dime.”

She further revealed how her efforts to settle the matter amicably had proved abortive. “He is supposed to have paid me since last year, immediately after the release of the movie. He has been shifting the payment since last year. He later said I should go to court that he would not pay me a dime and also bragged that no one, not even the Police could force him to pay me.

Till production time, the marketer would not pick repeated calls to his line. Even text messages to him were not replied.
