In a viral video that has captured the hearts of Nigerian entertainment fans, Afrobeats sensation Adekunle Gold, popularly known as AG Baby, offered unexpected support to veteran actor Odunlade Adekola during an emotional video call that revealed deep-seated industry tensions.
Emotional Confession Sparks Concern
The heartfelt exchange occurred when Odunlade Adekola, who recently recovered from being attacked by a cow, opened up about feeling abandoned by his colleagues during the promotional run for his upcoming cinema film "Warlord Olori Ogun." The actor confessed that despite pouring his heart into the project, he felt alone in his efforts to promote the movie.
"During the call, Odunlade admitted that he felt alone promoting a project he poured his heart into," according to sources familiar with the conversation. This emotional revelation prompted Adekunle Gold to ask probing questions about why the actor wasn't receiving the industry support he expected.
