The actor made the disclosure during an interview with Feel Right News TV published on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Recalling the experience, Solade said he was approached to play a person with a disability and was paid to participate. He admitted accepting the offer at the time, adding that he later spent the money he received on alcohol. Solade said, 'I have been used for a miracle then, when I was not popular. I acted as a cripple; they paid; I used the money to drink; then I was a student. 'The people involved are still alive; I don't just want to mention names.'
