“Kemi [Adetiba] called me in September 2017 that she had a role for me, I said I wasn’t doing, I didn’t want to act cos I was scared, I have seen a lot of people try to make that transition from music to television and when it fails the media will crucify you. Kemi made us relax, she just eased us into our roles, she kinda of broke that the barriers of are we going to do well,” he said.
IllBlisss also confirmed that he will be doing more films in years to come but would not be stereotyped to a particular character or role like many running after him at the moment.
