Popularity is not an accurate measurement of a man’s worth in the face showbiz. Many entertainers are like mannequins who sample your dream lives for your entertainment pleasure. So always look beyond the cars they drive in the movies, the beautiful houses in the music videos, and all the expensive clothes that they put on to give you a perfect television picture. They are 100% human with high maintenance realities that must match what you see on the big screen. WE NEED HELP TOO.
NOTE. The #merrymen are coming back to the cinemas.”
AY is one of the few crossover celebrities who have been able to make a name for themselves in more than just one field of entertainment. His sojourn into the Nigerian film industry, Nollywood has been a successful one and he has been able to release and star in blockbuster films.
