Also during the interview, Jethro was asked why his brother, Odunlade, had not introduced him to prominent figures such as award-winning actor Femi Adebayo, so he could feature in their films.

In response, he stated that he was an active member of his church and served on a church committee. He explained that he might be occupied with church programmes and, as a result, might not be available to honour such invitations at the time.
