Their relationship broke down when he started his acting career only to be repaired by an MTN commercial, the Ogun-born actor told the paper.
He said, “For him, it was a disappointment and he almost did not contact me for about two years. Our fight was settled when I did a commercial for MTN. I was not in Lagos and we had not spoken for a long time before that and out of the blue, I got a call from my dad; he was asking me how I was doing. He said that he saw the advertisement and congratulated me on it.”
