The wife of Kazim Adeoti expressed gratitude that despite over twenty years in the industry, she is still relevant and still gets nominations. Aigbe said she can’t override the power of consistency, authenticity, and reinvention in her journey.
Aigbe, who is one of this year’s nominees, said her nomination is a reminder of the hard work, sleepless nights and the passion she puts into her craft. The filmmaker expressed gratitude to her fans and all for supporting her brand.
“As we are gearing up for AMVCA 2025, let me throw back to 2014 when I won my first AMVCA!
After that Win, I received several nominations, and this year, I received another one in the Best Supporting Actress Category in Farmer’s Bride!
Firstly, to God be the glory that after well over 20 years in this industry, I am still relevant and still getting these nominations.
I cannot underestimate the power of consistency, authenticity, and reinvention in my journey.
Constantly getting this recognition is incredibly humbling and such a huge honour. It’s a reminder that all the hard work, the sleepless nights on set, and the passion I put into my craft have been seen and appreciated.
Big thank you to my amazing fans and everyone who continues to support my brand!!!
