Ailing Yoruba actress and filmmaker Kemi Afolabi recently opened up about her relationships with female colleagues in Nollywood.
In an intimate and revealing interview with Kunle Afod, she discussed the complexities and dynamics of her connections with other actresses, shedding light on her experiences within the industry.
She described the highs and lows that transpired both before and after her health issues became a major concern.
Famous people including Iyabo Ojo, Omoborty, Sikiratu Sindodo, Mercy Aigbe, and Laide Bakare were discussed in this heartfelt conversation.
Kemi Afolabi recently talked candidly with fellow actor Kunle Afod on his talk program about how her connections with female coworkers in Nollywood have changed over the years, particularly when she started fighting lupus a few years ago.
Not one to back down from a challenge, Afod pushed Afolabi to talk about how her health issue had changed her life and her relationships with other actors.
Reflecting on her journey, Afolabi didn’t sugarcoat the truth, said some friendships that once seemed unbreakable had fractured as her illness progressed.
She acknowledged that Sikiratu Sindodo, a colleague she once considered a close friend, was no longer a constant presence in her life, but are still on speaking terms.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Afod pushed further, questioning whether Afolabi had ever shared close ties with some of Nollywood’s movie stars, including Iyabo Ojo, Laide Bakare, and Omoborty. With an unwavering voice, Afolabi quickly firmly stated that she was never friends with them.
Amidst the stories of distancing and the harsh truth about lost ties, Kemi Afolabi’s face softened when she turned her attention to one actress who had defied expectations and remained a steadfast ally—Mercy Aigbe.
Speaking with deep emotion, she didn’t hold back in praising Aigbe, recounting how their relationship had not only survived her illness but had grown stronger.
