According to her, the experience left her pained, adding that she had no idea what caused the issue and decided to speak out to express how fame has changed some actors in the film industry.
She clarified that her decision to talk about the matter was not to create controversy but to express her feelings about the attitude of some colleagues after attaining fame.
She said: “There was a time I wanted to shoot a movie and I told Lateef Adedimeji that he would be part of it. He told me point-blank that he only wants to feature in movies with fortunate people. I was like, who are those who are not fortunate? I was pained at first by his statement, but I moved on.
“He blocked me for like four years and only unblocked me in January 2025. I never understood what led to such action. I decided to speak out now, not to cause any drama, but to show how some of my colleagues change once fame comes their way.”
