It’s Not a Crime for Boss to Ask Apprentice Out – Veteran Actor Taiwo Hassan

Veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan (Ogogo) has stated that it is not wrong for a boss to express romantic interest in an apprentice, as long as it is consensual and no force or pressure is involved. Speaking in an interview, he said: “There’s no problem in a boss dating his apprentice as long as he doesn’t force her.” He noted that some people join theatre groups with intentions beyond just learning acting, including admiration for popular actors. Key Points: Hassan said relationships in theatre environments often develop naturally. He recalled that at Odunfa Theatre, some girls joined because of Yinka Quadri or him. He believes motivations in the industry vary from person to person. He emphasised that consent and contentment are key. The comments have sparked debate on social media. Sources: PM News
