Nollywood actor, Aremu Afolayan has urged American rapper and businessman, Curtis James Jackson III, better known as 50 Cent to let him play the lead role in a movie he is planning to make.
50 Cent sent tongues wagging on social media days ago after sharing plans to commission a movie project based on the story of Nigerian internet fraudster, Abbas Ramon a.k.a Hushpuppi.
In the caption of his post announcing the movie online, he wrote: “For my scammers, I gotta do this one. Hushpuppi series coming soon! GLG, Green Light Gang I don’t miss. #Bransoncognac #lecheminduroi #gunitfilmandtv.”
After making his plan known, popular Nigerian thespian, Uche Jombo, politely suggested the American should consider giving a Nigerian the opportunity to play Hushpuppi’s role in the TV series.
Taking to 50 Cent’s comment section, the actress and filmmaker pleaded with the musician, saying “Please give a Nigeria actor the opportunity to play this character.”

After these developments, Aremu Afolayan took a cue from his Nollywood colleague, as he took to his official Instagram page to share videos that captured him mimicking the flamboyant Nigerian IG sensation.
“You see hushpuppi you no see person…..@50cent,” The actor captioned one of the videos he uploaded to his social media page.
To make his pitch even more believable, Aremu put some of his designer footwear on display and proceeded to show off his exquisitely furnished living room.
A lady in the video was also heard hailing the actor repeatedly and referring to him as Hushpuppi.
