“I don’t know what to do because an actor has accused me of dating and having sex with Fathia.”
Tope was quick to clarify the nature of his relationship with Fathia. He explained that they share a close bond, but it is purely platonic and rooted in mutual respect and support.
“I and Fathia are very close to each other to the extent that nobody can find out why we love each other. I and Fathia will be together forever because she is my helper. When I wanted to become a movie director, some actors tried to discourage me, but Fathia was the one who stood by me, and she gave me the opportunity to direct five of her movies at the time without having any past experience about directing movies before,” Tope added.
