Veteran Nollywood actress, Sola Sobowale, has credited her rise to stardom in the movie industry to movie producer, Kemi Adetiba.
In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, published on Saturday, Sobowale spoke about her lead role as Eniola Salami in Adetiba’s King of Boys.
While speaking on her relationship with the filmmaker, Sobowale noted that Adetiba knows her more than she knows herself.
“There’s something about Kemi Adetiba. Kemi Adetiba will tell you who Sola Sobowale is. I don’t even know myself. Kemi knows me more than I know myself,” the actress said.
She added, “Kemi Adetiba brought me out. I will say it anywhere. I don’t mind if it sounds like a broken record. I will echo it. I will sing it. I will shout it. She brought me out.”
Sobowale also noted that she never watched herself in movies but she had to watch King of Boys.
“I don’t watch myself but I had to watch myself during King of Boys,” the veteran added.
Despite joining Nollywood in 1992, Sobowale became popular in 2001 when she played the role of “Toyin Tomato” in Wale Adenuga’s Super Story.
However, the actress experienced renewed fame in Kemi Adetiba’s Wedding Party, released in 2016.
In 2018, Adetiba’s King of Boys further oiled the actress’ stardom due to her alpha-female role and the strong personality she exuded in the movie.
PUNCH Metro had earlier reported that the actress said she left Nollywood for a while and relocated abroad so that she could take care of her children.
