Renowned Yoruba movie actor, Odunlade Adekola, has addressed claims that he made it to the top by visiting and patronizing witch doctors.
The Ogun State-born actor said he will never and had never been involved in such act.
Speaking with the Punch, the ‘Oko Ashewo’ actor said, “Some people say that I used voodoo or metaphysical powers to be successful. I hear when they say such but I tell everyone that I can never do such. During the graduation of my students last year, I addressed this issue because it was during that time people were peddling rumours of my demise.
“When the rumour of my death hit town, some people said that I did ‘jazz’ to be successful. That was why during the graduation of my students last year, I said it in public that if I had ever thought of doing ‘jazz’ to succeed God should make me lose everything I had ever worked for.
“I never knew I would be successful as an actor; my belief has always been that God should elevate me in my endeavours. I always prayed that God should make me a successful person.
“I hear these comments but they do not move me at all. I am a writer, director, producer and an actor. It is normal for people to talk but it has never upset me,” the 37-year-old actor added.
