Veteran Yoruba movie actress Dupe Jayesimi has revealed one of the reasons she stopped film making in the Yoruba movie industry while also stating how the death of her father affected her movie career.
In a video that was posted on the official YouTube channel of Kunleafod TV during an interview with Kunle Afod, she disclosed that she stopped acting in movies after her father died at the time he had promised to give her two million naira to produce a movie of her own.
In her statement, she said, “My father did not support my film making job initially, and he did not talk to me for 5 years. Whenever he comes to my grandma’s house, he doesn’t answer when I greet him, he will look at me and go back to his house.
After 5 years, he started watching some of my movies, and he noticed that I’m very decent in my dressing, and that was when he started accepting my job. I stopped film making after my dad died when he promised to give me 2 million naira for my movie.
