Nollywood actor cum filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji has opened up on his pre-fame journey and marital life.
The talented actor, in an emotional sit-down with media personality Chude Jideonwo, recalled how his boss who trained him in the Yoruba movie industry told him that he would fail within one year.
The movie star unperturbed, stated that he asked his boss to give him two years and see what he becomes.
Lateef Adedimeji also spoke about how his wife of almost 4 years gets trolled online and called barren because they are yet to have a child.
He says Mo Bimpe usually shows him messages they troll her with on social media.
Lateef then shed light on colleagues who promised to support him when he began working on his project, Lisabi failed to stand by him. Luckily for him, his wife was by his side, and helped boost his confidence.
In his words:
“Someone once told me in the Yoruba movie industry that he gave me one year to see what I would become. I told him to give me two years and he will see what I will become.
My wife and I have received a lot of trolling. Recently, someone called her barren on social media. She would always show it to me and would say they would be all right.
I just called her one morning and asked if she would marry me and she said Yes.
When I wanted to do my first big screen job, Lisabi, I realized that everybody that I felt would stand by me was not there; there was nobody”.
