Actor Deyemi Okanlawon Reminisces On Rejection Before Fame– No Never Really Means No

Posted: 27 May 2022 09:00 AM PDT

Today being a Thursday, Deyemi has gone down memory lane to reminisce on humble beginnings. 

Actor Deyemi Okanlawon has said that he is tempted to release the emails he sent to top filmmakers who ignored him before he became famous but working with him now.

The Blood Sisters actor said this on Twitter on Thursday.

The 43-year-old said he sent emails to top producers and directors in 2011 and 2012 but they were ignored. He wrote:

"All I can say is that a lot has happened since that first EL film in 2012… if I didn't continuously improve on my skill, deliver consistently regardless of pay, show professionalism, or had a bad personality I'm not certain the relationship with EL would have lasted this long.

I remember how all DMs and emails sent as far back as 2011/2012 to top producers and directors, who I've now worked with, were ignored. I still go back to those emails as a reminder that no never really means no."

Speaking further, Deyemi said he might do a thread on the emails he sent out to filmmakers at the beginning of his career.

"I'm so tempted to do a thread on the emails and DMs I sent to producers and directors (not actors) in the beginning."

Deyemi was recently listed as the highest-grossing actor in 2021 according to the list compiled by the Nigerian Box Office.

Recall the Omo Ghetto actor, detailed how his role in Nigeria's Netflix original series, Blood Sisters, affected him mentally as he sympathized with abusers.

In the series, Deyemi acted as Kola Ademola, an abusive partner who brutalised his victims as a pastime.
On his Twitter page on Sunday May 8, the actor noted that perfecting his role in the movie was a mentally draining process.

Simi Opens Up On Music, Motherhood, Marriage – Why I Acted That One Movie And Left Nollywood

Posted: 27 May 2022 08:00 AM PDT

Nigerian singer, Simi has revealed why she left Nollywood after acting just one movie. The star is one of the most popular female singers and is well known across the continent.

Aside singing, she has also been on television as a recent judge on Nigerian Idol and has acted in one movie: the Kunle Afolayan produced Mokalik.

During an interview, Simi talked about her music, Nigerian idol alongside motherhood and reasons she only appeared in a movie once. The mother-of-one said:

"It has not been easy transitioning from being a baby girl myself to now being a mother alongside other responsibilities.

It is not easy. But I think it's just prioritizing and then committing to your priorities because the more important things you have in your life, the less time you have to dedicate to all those things. What's important again is understanding that this is hard before you even go into it so it doesn't overwhelm you too much. I love my family. I love my daughter, I love my husband, and I love music so much so it's just finding that balance and committing to it".

Pertaining to reasons why she acted only one movie, Mokalik and then left Nollywood, Simi said:

"I'm not as crazy about acting as I am about music to be honest, but it's something that it's exciting to do once in a while. People have mentioned it to me so maybe when I'm not (busy). I'll try to do more."

Recall Simi recently revealed her daughter says funny and wild things after she wakes up.

According to Simi, her cute daughter, Deja always says random and wild things immediately she opens her eyes. She wrote on Twitter:

"I need to do a series on the things Deja says right after she wakes up. Today it was "it's a hexagon." Lol. She always says something random immediately she opens her eyes. It's wild and I love it."

This record was beaten shortly after by Rihanna and Justin Bieber to become the biggest artists on spotify with over 31.3 million monthly premium subscribers. Jahsen Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, AKA xxxTentacion made 10.4 million streams in a day with his hit song "Sad"

In Nigeria presently, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, BNXN, and Olamide are the five most streamed local artists on spotify.

Read what she wrote below:

"If you're selling pussy, just say so.." this phrase "Men are providers" has got a lotta people growing a toxic sense of entitlement.
PSA: Men have needs too!
A man is happy to provide where he feels nurtured and cared for. It is in their nature. He cannot go against nature, all things being equal.
Let's make relationships healthy again.
Let's make the "Self" healthy again.
Take time out for you, heal yourself and the old wounds.
Escape into your own sense of wonder and individualism. Do your own thing, make your own money.
So many bright, intelligent women are stuck in toxic unhealthy relationships simply because they know no other way to fend for themselves except through the man.
I don't want that kind of life for none of my Sistars.
God has deposited so much power and potential in you for you not to have your own way in this world.
Let a man come in to add to what you've already got while you add unto him too.
Amen?

PS: Stop listening to me. What the fuck does a Single, Horny woman like me know about relationships?
Tueh Tueh!"
