Veteran Nollywood actor Yinka Quadri has revealed that his wife was aware of his relationships with some actresses in the movie industry and would even accommodate and feed them when they spent the night at his home after late-night film productions.

The actor made the revelation during an appearance on the Africanalist Podcast, where he recounted how some of the actresses he was involved with eventually became friends with his wife.

According to Quadri, some of the women would approach his wife to gossip about his alleged relationships with other actresses in the entertainment industry.

“It got to a stage, I won’t mention the ladies’ names in the industry. They would become friends with my wife and start giving gossip to my wife that I am dating so so so in the industry,” he said.

The veteran actor also disclosed that jealousy sometimes caused disagreements among the women he dated, with some of them leaving his home despite his wife already knowing about the relationships.

“And there were some of them that we were dating who went home out of jealousy. Meanwhile, my wife would say she was aware already and she doesn’t fight them cause of that,” he added.

Quadri further explained that some actresses occasionally spent the night at his residence when movie shoots ended late.

He said his wife knew about his relationships with the actresses and would still ensure they were comfortable, including preparing food for them.

“Sometimes when production ends late, they would sleep in my house. And that my wife is aware I am dating them, she would still feed them and everything,” he stated.

Nigerian singer Abiye Jumbo, known as Mr 2Kay, has revealed that his record label only gave him N2 million from the N10 million compensation he received from the management of Eko Hotel and Suites after being assaulted and robbed in the facility by armed men reportedly sent by his colleague, Burna Boy, in 2017.

Speaking in a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, Mr 2Kay said he left his record label because of how they handled the compensation money.

“When Burna Boy sent boys to beat me up in Eko Hotel, the boys attacked me and ended up robbing me. Eko Hotel later compensated me with N10 million but my record label gave me only N2 million out of it. So, I left the record label,” he said.

Mr 2Kay revealed that he is now a music executive, stressing that the business is lucrative.

Recall that on October 22, 2017, after performing at the Buckwyld ‘n’ Breathless concert at Eko Hotel and Suites, Mr 2Kay was beaten, tied up and robbed at gunpoint in his hotel room by men posing as room service.

The Lagos State Police Command arrested four suspects—including Burna Boy’s road manager, Joel Kantiok. The suspects confessed during interrogation that they were hired and paid by Burna Boy to teach Mr 2Kay a lesson.

Burna Boy was declared wanted, later turned himself in to the police, and was arraigned at the Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in December 2017 on two counts of conspiracy and accessory to armed robbery, before being granted bail.

Mr 2Kay later withdrew the case from court after Burna Boy tendered an apology.

In August 2021, a viral video surfaced showing Burna Boy and Mr 2Kay hanging out together at a Lagos nightclub, officially putting their four-year beef behind them.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has declared Chinua Achebe’s 1958 novel ‘Things Fall Apart’ as the greatest African book of all-time. 

Speaking in a recent interview with TV3, Edochie explained that ‘Things Fall Apart’ is the greatest African book ever written because it tells the African story.

He stated that the book wouldn’t have been as popular as it is if it were telling the story of the colonisers. 

He pointed out that many other African authors have also made efforts in telling African stories since ‘Things Fall Apart’ but none is as “strong” as it.

“The reason why ‘Things Fall Apart’ is the greatest book ever written on the African continent is because it is telling our own story.

“If it had been telling the story of the White man, it won’t be that popular. Many others have made efforts since then but not as strong as ‘Things Fall Apart’,” he said. 

He urged African writers and creatives to focus on telling African stories, stressing that it would be their unique strength on the global stage.

The movie star, however, lamented that Africans were allowing their talents to be submerged by embracing foreign influences. 

“We Africans permitted our talents to be submerged by overseas influences. I remember once upon a time I was being called Elvis Presley and John Wayne.

“I actually enjoyed answering those names but at some point I had to discard them and pick a name that’s culturally relevant to me. Then I went back to the root and started answering Uwadiegwu,” he added.

A former president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Emeka Rollas, has tendered a public apology to actress Regina Daniels and her family for testifying against her during her crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko.

This came almost a year after he testified that Regina abused substances on movie sets.

While claiming that the actress needed help, Emeka, who was the AGN president at the time, named Jide Kosoko, Charles Inojie, Okey Bakassi and other prominent actors who had witnessed Regina abusing drugs.

In response, Regina, who said something was wrong with Emeka, also accused him of financial misconduct.

However, in a new development, Emeka has tendered a public apology to Regina’s family in a post on his Instagram page on Thursday.

While expressing regret over his post, he said: “I regret the timing, the platform and the manner in which I handled it. I made those statements at a time when a family was going through a deeply personal and difficult period. I shouldn’t have taken that path.

“Without excuses or conditions, I sincerely apologise to Mrs. Rita Daniels’ family, Regina Daniels, Senator Ned Nwoko, the AGN Board of Trustees, and all my colleagues whose names I mentioned.”

He noted that he was only human and had made a mistake.
