There is this messy battle currently raging between these erstwhile lovers whose love story has gone sour. As we gathered, the man in the center of the story does not want to let go and sees his ego bruised since it was the lady who called off the relationship instead of him having the honour of doing so.

This is not the synopsis of a new movie but the true story of the relationship between up and coming actress,Bisi Komolafe and her former mentor in the acting trade, star actor,Yinka Quadri popularly referred to as Chairman in the Yoruba movie industry.

As the story goes, it was gathered that Bisi Komolafe who cut her teeth as an apprentice with the Odunfa caucus of the industry had caught the fancy of Chairman and one thing led to another and they started dating.

The relationship, according to those in the know, lasted for several years. Along the line,Bisi decided to call off the relationship and this, we learnt,did not go down well with Chairman who felt hurt and slighted that she was the one who pulled out without him giving her the boot.

What people say really hurt Yinka is the fact that Bisi dumped him for an Idumota based marketer, Olasco who they said gave her money to produce her movie, Oka.So bitter is Yinka Quadri that, according to those close to him, has promised to haunt and frustrate Bisi out of the industry.

And being that Yinka is one of the voices that carry a lot of weight in the Yoruba movie industry, insiders believe that the young lady really has bitten more than she can chew. It is generally believed that whatever he says is law as he runs the most formidable caucus in the industry.

Our source informs that Yinka Quadri has been calling producers and instructing them not to invite Bisi to their location especially if he is to feature in the movie.

But one person that is really aggrieved over this matter is star actress Bukky Wright.

According to insiders who should know, at a recent movie location, the issue between Bisi and Yinka was discussed and our source said Bukky was really annoyed at the turn out of things and wondering if Bisi was Yinka's wife that he should want to stop her from acting by all means.

She was said to be furious and angry that Yinka who has a daughter of Bisi's age should be all out to frustrate her in such a manner as if she is the only girl in the industry or even in Nigeria.

She was said to have wondered at the level of obsession Yinka has for the girl.

On investigation, we learnt that Bisi,though an in-house student of the Odunfa caucus was never a student of Yinka Quadri but that of Alhaji Taiwo Hassan otherwise known as Ogogo or Sir T,only that the two friends run things as one.

Followers of this trend in the relationship of Yinka Quadri and Bisi Komolafe are of the view that Yinka is aggrieved not because they are no longer together but that the up and coming actress dumped him for a marketer.
