Femi Adebayo speaks on rivalry with Odunlade Adekola

Femi Adebayo, Yoruba Nollywood actor and comedian who is the son of movie veteran Adebayo Salami has come out to address rumoured rivalry between himself and colleague, Odunlade Adekola.

According to the chubby actor, Odunlade is a fantastic actor and there is no bad blood between them.


Speaking with the NET, he said:

"Odunlade Adekola is one of my very good friends. We don't see ourselves as rivals. Outside our profession, we see, we talk, we relate, we rub minds; we even share ideas regarding how to live our private lives. That automatically negates the word rivalry you are talking about. We are not rivals, we are friends, and we are colleagues. We do our things and our fans appreciate us."

Adebayo further revealed that he shares a lot in common with Odunlade. He said:

"Odunlade is a very tall man and I am not tall, I think that's one of the very obvious differences between us. But we have a lot in common. Odunlade is a very fantastic actor; I am a very fantastic actor as well. We interpret our roles the way we feel it should be interpreted. We share the same date of birth. We are in the same industry. He is friendly, I'm friendly; he is down to earth and I'm equally down to earth."
