Sola Sobowale Is Abroad and Not Even Rich – Veteran Actor Lalude Opens Up on Strained Relationship.
Veteran Nollywood actor Lalude has stirred conversation online after opening up about his strained relationship with fellow actress Sola Sobowale.
In a recent interview, Lalude recalled a moment that left him deeply hurt, claiming Sobowale deliberately snubbed him at a public event. According to him, the incident created tension between them.
“She did something that really pained me. I was at Olayemi Olayinka’s show and heard Sola Sobowale was also present. She knew I was there but didn’t even come to greet me. She’s not even older than I am.”
Lalude went on to explain that he had known Sobowale since the early days of her career, which made her behavior all the more disappointing to him.
“We go way back, right from when she was just starting out. Her attitude years later really shocked and hurt me.”
“Back then, when we were doing uncle jide kosoko’s play ‘Ogun Awoyaya’ at the national theater that was when Ngozi brought her to me and introduced her to me, she was trying to join acting; as much as I liked her, what she did that day surprised me. Regardless of her living abroad, she’s not truly wealthy. We were there with Yinka, and she went to the stage and left without seeing me. that’s the only thing that pained me”.
The former APC supporter asserted that she should have been the one to greet him at the event, as is customary in the Yoruba tribe, but instead she left the event.
“I’ve just been looking at her since then. Ngozi was the one who brought her when she wanted to learn how to act in Yoruba movies. At Olayinka’s event, she attended it and was aware of my presence, and she just went up on the stage when they called her. After doing what she had to on the stage, she passed by me once again without acknowledging me. People with me went over to greet her, but she should have been the one to come to me.”.
“We haven’t seen each other since then. If we’re called to act together, we’d do our jobs”.
