After a face-off with fellow actress, concerning Odulade
Adekola, married actress, Kemi Afolabi in interview with Encomium is begging
Nigerians especially journalists to let her be and let her enjoy her friendship
with Odulade Adekola who is also married. According to Kemi, Mr Odun is nothing
but her helper.
It will be recalled that She-Baby had called the actress out
shortly after she left her movie location saying she has been sleeping with
Odulade Adekola. The two had a hot argument which leaked online, leading the
actor in the middle of all this to grant an interview saying he has never dated
any of the two actresses and as a matter of fact, they are married and he is
happily married too begging them not to break his happy home. What Kemi Afolabi
said after the cut.
My husband and Odunlade Adekola have a cordial relationship
because it’s been a long time.
Actually, it’s quite sad to me because when
people try to break me up with people that are my helpers, people that support
my work, it’s really sad. And I want to use this medium to appeal to you
journalists to do your work very well.
I know sometimes the story may be so juicy and some
journalists will just go to press without proper investigation.
But it’s always good to hear the other side. There’s
something we call audiorterempaton in law. Please, pardon me for bringing in
this legal terminology. Even though I am an actress, I am forever a lawyer. I
would always go back to law. It will do us a lot of good if you guys actually
reach out to us before putting your pen on paper.
I know most journalists would just pick up their pen and say
they tried to get across to us but their efforts were futile. But what of those
that are on your BBM contact and all other platforms through which you can
reach out to the person?
Some just like writing whatever rumour they hear without
bothering to do any investigation. It’s unfair. I just want to beg you
journalists to please, do your job very well by making sure you hear from the
party or parties involved, no matter how juicy the story is, before going to
press.
Regarding Odunlade Adekola’s issue, I just want to appeal to
you all to leave the gentleman alone.
He’s happily married. He’s someone I
really respect. Odunlade is one of those people who encouraged me when I came
back. When I was back, I had to take a queue. But he was one of those people
who picked me up and encouraged me.
He said he knew I had the talent and he believed in me. And
he gave me so many chances, okay, who
knows now, maybe it’s because of what
people have been saying that I have not even got a call from him to invite me
for job.
And I know he has been working, not that he’s not working.
People should just not break up our friendship. He’s a very good friend of mine
but the media has been able to separate us. And there is this notion about
Nigerians or Africans as a whole. When you play a character in a movie very
well, and strictly by the script, they tend to quickly jump into a kind of
conclusion, “Oh! These two people are wonderful. The chemistry is so good.”
In acting, there are some people that when you’re on set with, they carry you along, they make the job so simple and so easy. Odunlade Adekola falls into that category. So, people should just find out what’s truly going on instead of unnecessary insinuations
