"There was a lot of Conspiracy against me. It was intense. What I encountered and became free, some might lose it in the process. We have the good and the bad in the industry. They would smile to my face but behind plan my downfall. It started with some of my colleagues saying “is he the only one? He's not a Yoruba man."
The actor added that Toyin Abraham and Femi Adebayo were once on his set and he paid them handsomely.

He described himself as a king compared to the likes of Femi Adebayo and Lateef Adedimeji, adding that out of 10 productions, it would take grace for another movie to outshine his.

"My movies were always in demand and no one wanted to exchange them for others. They were sold at full price. That caused some tension so they conspired against me. Despite everything, I give thanks to God."
