Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has expressed pride in working with his veteran, Baba Wande.
Taking to his Instagram page to share photos of himself and the veteran, he revealed that this is the first time he is working with him.
Calling him his childhood idol, he noted that he had been with Baba Wande several times but never had the chance to be on set together.
Hailing him, Adeniyi said the veteran can act and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with him.
“The very first time I am working with my childhood Idol!!! Been around him countless times, but never had the chance to be on set together.
Forget baba dey act !! Blessed to be with you, sir.
May you live long sir in sound health @baba_wande___ shooting IJA IJU by @adebayotijani”.
Early this year, Adeniyi had called out his colleague, Habeeb Alagbe, over his steamy kiss with Seyi Edun in a movie. He questioned if the actor didn’t know that his wife is married, and questioned when he came into the industry and is already having the audacity to do anything he wants.
In June, the Yoruba actor publicly apologised to his colleagues, friends, and others. He said he chooses peace and apologises to those he has hurt and wronged. He noted that death is coming no matter how old or far, small, or great one is.
Last year, The African Men Entertainment Kings (AFRIMEK), led by Femi Adebayo, had suspended Johnson indefinitely for gross misconduct and breach of the club’s constitution.
Reacting to the news, Johnson expressed sadness at the derogatory post. He stated that though he wasn’t bigger than the club, there had been Adeniyi Johnson before the club and ... they made about him could cause harm. He noted how such a post was detrimental to his name, his family and most importantly, his brand.
He later penned an appreciation post to veteran, Dele Odule, praising him for being a father, teacher, mentor, listener and leader
