The award-winning actor Lateef Adedimeji sits down with Chude Jideonwo on his viral show #WithChude to share an emotional and inspiring story of grit and gratitude as his epic sequel Lisabi: A Legend is Born premieres on Netflix. In this heartwarming interview, Lateef reflects on his journey in the Yoruba film industry, recalling the hurtful words of his mentor who doubted his future, and the painful moments when those he trusted abandoned him during the making of Lisabi. Yet, standing by his side through it all was his wife, Adebimpe, whose support has been the cornerstone of his success.
Lateef shares anecdotes about his struggles with self-doubt, the challenges they have faced as a couple—including addressing public commentary on their private lives—and the incredible story of how he proposed to Adebimpe. The actor also recounts how his father, once opposed to his career in acting, eventually became one of his biggest supporters, investing in his very first project despite its failure. With Adebimpe’s steadfast encouragement, Lateef has broken through countless obstacles, emerging as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated actors.
This episode of #WithChude is not just a look into Lateef’s professional milestones; it’s a moving testament to love, perseverance, and the power of having someone who believes in you when no one else does.
