She Invited Me to Star in Her Music Video… Then Left Me Completely Speechless
by Chiemelie Kyrian Offor · Writer
A fan’s heartfelt request quickly turned into an unforgettable conversation with a surprising twist I never saw coming.

She got me speechless after the tedious shoot on one certain time.
It was about four years ago.
As I headed to the car to finally go home.
She walked up to me.
Shyly.
Respectful.
This stranger.
"Good evening, sir."
I stopped.
"Good evening. How are you?"
"I am fine, sir. I enjoyed your reality show with Bisola today. It made me really laugh so hard."
"Awww thank you very much. It's an honor."
"You are welcome, sir. I also read your write-ups on Facebook."
"Wow. Double honor. Thanks a lot. It means a lot to me."
"Can I take a selfie with you?"
"Sure, go ahead."
We went to a brighter space and it was a couple of shots she took with me.
After she was done.
I thanked her and was about to head out.
She said.
"Kyrian, I am not done o. I know you are exhausted and want to go home but there is something I want to tell you, sir."
"Okay, I'm here."
"Since morning I was struggling to approach you but they didn't allow me to approach you. The protocol and security were a bit tight. Even when you were in the waiting room, I wasn't allowed to enter there. You were being followed around during your shoot, I didn't get the chance to talk to you. So I had to wait at this gate till this night so as you are going I will just walk up to you immediately."
It touched me.
"I am so sorry about that. I didn't know you wanted to reach me."
"It's not your fault. It's just the protocols and all of that around you. I guess they didn't want anyone to bother you or anybody until you all are done with the whole shoot."
"You are right. For you to wait for me this long, that means this thing you want to discuss with me is very important to you."
"It is very important to me o."
She took a deep breath and continued.
"I am a recording artist. I just released a single... it's a bang really a bang. I want to shoot the visual in two weeks. Immediately, you entered the location today I said wow see Kyrian, Oh my God. This is the first time I am seeing you in person, I wasn't expecting to see you not in my wildest dreams. You are so tall and fine. And then my music video came to my mind. I said Kyrian is the perfect person to use. I want you to act as my husband in the video, please."
She continued.
While I listened carefully.
"I have spent over 500K for the equipment I am hiring. Even the location I have spent approximately 600K, it's a three-day shoot. The guy who is going to act as my ex in the video I paid him 300k. So I was looking for a finer person who will play as my husband and then I saw you and I said good. Kyrian will be so perfect for it. So, sir, I know you will not turn it down. I am not paying you o. I am not even going to find your transport or fuel money to the location. It's only feeding you will get from us. Forget I paid these people it's because they are not like you. I have even paid for their costumes. I have spent plenty money already. Not like I can't afford to pay you but you have passed that level naw, you do more than that for people. I didn't even budget for your costumes o, just come with five of your outfits we are good to go. I forgot to tell you that you will also help me push it on your page for three months free of charge. If you are interested please buy a 30K form from my manager, fill-up the form, and state the reason why you want to work with me and be featured in my music video..."
