Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji got vulnerable last night – Tuesday, Nov 10 – on Instagram.
He didn’t name a specific incident, but he said he’s been fighting silent battles that “no one is aware of”.
“Life hasn’t always been easy, but I won’t let that stop me from being happy.” I have been wounded, I’ve shed tears, and I’ve engaged in battles that no one is aware of. But despite everything, I still stand, believe, and smile. My smile doesn’t mean that life is perfect; rather, it means that I haven’t overcome my obstacles. Give thanks to God for the bravery, grace, and fortitude to keep going.”
Fans are flooding his comments with prayers and love, especially because this comes just months after he and his wife Mo Bimpe shared their testimony of years of mockery, stigma and “childlessness” rumours before God blessed them with triplet boys earlier this year.
In that August testimony he wrote: “The whispers were louder than our prayers… What people thought would break us, Allah used to build us.”
So many fans are reading this new post as a continuation of that – Lateef reminding people that behind the fame, the awards, the Jagun Jagun / Lisabi success, there’s still a man going through real life battles.
He didn’t elaborate further, and his team hasn’t given more details.
