Nollywood star and producer Femi Adebayo has opened up about the exact moment he chose acting over a career in law.

In an interview with Pulse, the actor revealed he was earning just N20,000 monthly as a lawyer before an acting gig changed everything.

“Acting was a hobby for me at the time,” he said. “But then I got offered N50,000 to act for just three days. Meanwhile, my monthly salary as a lawyer was N20,000. That was when I said, ‘Femi, this acting is your calling.’”

That moment made him fully embrace his passion, leaving law behind to pursue a career in entertainment—one that’s been shaped by his talent and the legacy of his father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello
