Veteran actor Fatai Adetayo Lalude has spoken about his strained relationship with actress Sola Sobowale, revealing a specific incident that left him hurt.
According to Lalude in a recent podcast interview, Sola attended a show where he was present but allegedly avoided greeting him despite knowing he was there.
Lalude also shared background on how he knew Sola, revealing that she was introduced to him by Ngozi when she was starting out in acting.
He expressed surprise at her behaviour, given their past connection.
“She did something that pained me one day, I was at Olayemi Olayinka’s show and I heard Shola Shobowale was there and she knew I was around also, but didn’t bother to come say hi, she’s not even older than me. Back then, when we were doing Uncle Jide Kosoko’s play ‘Ogun Awoyaya’ at the National Theatre, that was when Ngozi brought her to me and introduced her to me.
“She was trying to join acting, as much as I like, but 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,” he said.
