Speaking with Teju Babyface on the recent episode of his King of Talks podcast, he recalled the incident in Enugu where Prince Eke, while conversing with a lady who had a relationship with a cultist, provoked her boyfriend.

He explained, "There was serious cultism in Nollywood back then; I can't speak for now. One time in Enugu, Prince Eke and I were shooting a movie, and Prince went to talk to a lady who liked him, and the lady was dating a cultist. The cultists then brought Prince, asked him to kneel, and embarrassed him, and Prince got angry. The people who did these things to him were not even students, but they didn't even know that Prince himself was dangerous."

Ogedengbe detailed the clash that followed when Prince called for reinforcements from Port Harcourt, saying that the actors got beaten that day, but he and Hanks Anuku stood their ground.
