Lateef Adedimeji: The man who trained me as an actor told me that I would fail in one year

Season 7, Ep. 3
•

“I give you one year and you will fail in this industry.”


That’s what the man who trained Lateef Adedimeji in the Yoruba movie industry told him after his training.


Today, on our show, Lateef has a message for that man, who is still alive and still in the industry.


He face; that same lack of faith for his viral Lisabi movie. Lateef says all the people whopromised to support him, the ones he actually expected to support him, all abandoned him.

“There was nobody.”


But his wife Mobimpe stood by him like a rock.


We also talk about:


— How he and his wife have responded to the people who call her barren. 


— Why he spent months denying a relationship with his wife and the shocking way he finally proposed to her.


— How his father went from locking him out of the house for being an actor to investing in his very first film (which then failed woefully!).


— How he often has no confidence in himself, and how his wife stands in to remind him of who he is and what he can do. Without her, he doesn’t know what would have happened to him.


Today, as the epic sequel, Lisabi: A Legend is Born is released on Netflix, Lateef is here to share his testimony.
