Popular Nigerian content creator and comedian, Isbae U, recently made headlines following an awkward yet hilarious exchange with legendary Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) on the latest episode of his hit YouTube interview series, Curiosity Made Me Ask. Known for his cheeky, unconventional, and sometimes mischievous interviewing style, Isbae U brought the veteran actor on as a special guest, but what started as a lighthearted chat quickly took an unexpected turn.
During the episode, Isbae U, in his usual informal tone, casually addressed the 63-year-old screen icon by his first name, calling him âRichardâ â a move considered culturally disrespectful in Nigerian tradition, especially when addressing an elder or respected figure like RMD.
Without missing a beat, the ever-charismatic RMD swiftly scolded the comedian, firing back with a traditional Nigerian retort that left both Isbae U and viewers in stitches.
âYour father! Your papa! Your papa left toe!â RMD exclaimed, mocking the comedianâs boldness while playfully dragging his late father into the matter â a classic clapback that resonated with many Nigerians familiar with such humorous insults.
The unscripted moment instantly caught fire online, with viewers and fans flooding social media platforms to react. Many noted that Isbae U, known for putting celebrities on the spot with tricky or uncomfortable questions, had finally met his match in RMD.
One user, @berbzz_, humorously wrote: âSince Bae_u started this show⌠Sir Kay can barely rest in peace. áťmáť áťĚsĂĄn ni Bae_u. Na him papa senior colleagues he dy always wan drag. đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łâ
Another viewer, @whoismufasa, added: âPeak insult ; Your father⌠never goes out of fashion đ.â
The banter-filled clip has since gone viral, with many hailing RMDâs quick wit and classic old-school response while commending Isbae U for consistently creating engaging and unpredictable content.
