Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji is celebrating himself following his AMVCA win.
In an Instagram post, he described himself as a soul who never conformed, misunderstood yet unwavering. He hailed himself for relenting in rising, redefining, and becoming.
Lateef said he is aligning with his blessings as he rises, triumphs, and is blessed.
“To the soul who never conformed, misunderstood yet unwavering.
To the man who keeps rising, redefining, becoming… Who still chooses to see everyone win.
Today, I align with my blessings.
I rise, I triumph, I am blessed”.
Kemi Filani reported that at the 12th edition of the AMVCA on Saturday, Lateef’s movie Lisabi won Best Indigenous Language Film (West Africa) and Best Makeup. While receiving his award, he dedicated it to his wife, who has given him three children.
In an Instagram post, he said that the past few weeks have been filled with many heartwarming events for him. From the overwhelming celebration of their kings by the entire nation, he has been developed by love and warmth. He appreciated the organisers for recognising their work and expressed gratitude to his wife, Mo Bimpe, who has held his hand as they made it happen.
Last year, Lateef, while reflecting on his journey, recalled how people questioned his colleague, Yewande Adekoya, when she handpicked him for a role, but she stood firm and saw the future. Lateef said when his personal production failed, he almost gave up, but he kept hustling and did lots of free work before heaven smiled on him.
He had reflected on his journey, which he admitted wasn’t smooth. However, that’s what makes the triumphs sweet, hence why his heart can’t be filled with gratitude.
The talented actor opened up on his pre-fame journey recalling how the man who trained him in the Yoruba movie industry told him that he would fail within one year. The movie star stated that he replied to the man, telling him to give him two years, and he would see what he would become.
