For Yoruba movie actress, Kemi Afolabi, controversies are not a strange forte but handling them is what sets her apart. In a recent chat with The Nation, the actress cum filmmaker says that when she finds herself in such situations, she as much as possible, ignores it.
However, as much as she tries to avoid them, they still pop up once every while in the course of pursuing her passion. One of such instances is the recent altercation she had with her fellow actress, Ariyo Oluwaseyi Esther, better known as She Baby. Although Afolabi says she has put the issue behind her, she also believes that in time, the truth will surface.
“I really don’t want to talk about She Baby. When the issue happened, I actually said my own side of the story, so why do I want to go on with it? How many times do I have to keep coming back to it? I said my own side of the story and I believe and I know it is the gospel truth. Some may believe, some might not but it’s all good. But I believe with time, the truth will always come out,” she said.
One reason she has decided to take the high road, she said, is because her job doesn’t allow her to keep malice of have fracas with anyone. However, she also claims that to the best of her knowledge, the issue has been resolved and she is now in talking terms with She Baby.
“It’s all good. I’m not in for cheap publicity. I’m here for business, hard work, success and I’m here as a role model to my true fans who really believe in the brand and support me all the way. The reason I had to give my side of the story in the first place was because everyone was concerned. People even started fighting for me before I got to know what was going on because I’m too busy. Trust me, I’m on set every other day. My job has been a rollercoaster. I’ve been all over the place working,” she adds.
