Bolaji Amusan Mr Latin Denies Fight With Odule & Kosoko, Says Odunlade Adekola Has Many Properties
August 14, 2016 – Bolaji Amusan, Mr Latin Denies Fight With Dele Odule & Jide Kosoko, Says Odunlade Adekola Has Many Properties
In this recent interview with Lanre Odukoya, comic Nollywood actor Bolaji Amusa popularly called Mr Latin debunked the viral report of his ongoing beef with Dele Odule and Jide Kosoko.
The actor who spoke briefly about his career also revealed the names of popular actors doing well in the Nigerian movie industry.
See excerpts:
How long have you been in the movie industry?
My acting career started in March 1988. By 2018, God willing, I’ll be celebrating 30 years in the industry.
There is this general belief that most female artistes are doing better than their male counterparts, how true is this and why is it so?
It is a very wrong notion and perception. Do you know how successful Odunlade Adekola is with the number of properties and assets he owns? Have you been to Femi Adebayo’s abode to see his success? Same can be said for Sanyeri, Muyiwa Ademola and many other male artistes.
My humble self is also not left out. To God be the glory, I can call myself a success in this profession as well. The way we all decide to use our lives are different. There are some of us who don’t like to blow our trumpets. Even many of the male artistes including our seniors in the industry are doing well. But of course, I admit that the female nature is somehow different. Even outside the movie industry, to know that a man is rich you need to see his wife. A man may have a Range Rover and another small car, for all you know he may be driving the small car while the wife will prefer to cruise around in the Range Rover even just down the road to buy tomatoes. Even if she is a full time house wife, she will dress to kill with jewellery and other accessories, drive the Lamborghini to the market just to buy ‘Iru’ (locust bean), that is the feminine nature for you.
Are you running your NGO with the help of Ogun State government?
No, the support I get is from my brothers, colleagues and friends. I’m honestly just using my celebrity status to pull this through. The Yoruba movie industry is so divided with too many factions.
There are even insinuations that you don’t agree with the faction led by Jide Kosoko, Dele Odule and others. What are you doing as one of the top actors to unify the industry?
I’m not in cold war with anyone at all, and the government is even trying to bring us all under one umbrella in a new union. Before the end of this year, I hope that the plan would come to fruition and we would all have the good news.

He was only trying to make us understand somethings by using his colleagues as example, I don’t think that is out of line. And his points are well understood.
May God continually give u guys d wisdom as to how u spend ur resources, including d women.
I know women can be flashy, that’s why people have d impression that female artist are making more money than the male artist.

Bose, it is alright to sight an example of people who have succeeded and are succeeding in this industry. People mention Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gate all the time and there was never an issue about it. For example one of the richest family in the United States are the children of Sam Walter the founder of Wal-Mart and owner of Sam’s Club. Their net worth is all over for easy access to those doing research and projects of all kinds.
For you Bose to succeed in life you need to change the way you view or perceive things.
Mr. Latin has done nothing wrong in this interview.
Our media has a lot to learn and they need to be decent in their efforts to capture the attention of readers. The headline of this interview is perhaps was got you to think that he is broadcasting his colleagues success.
Learn to listen more and talk less. The bible says in Proverbs 21:23 “Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.” NIV.

Latin has answered the interviewer well; only for him/her to give you bad impression with that caption. he even tried not to use himself as typical example because he knew people like bose would want to kill him with talks that are archaic in life! he quickly started from people that are well known in terms of fame/richness, yet you almost killed him with your quash mouth. you need 10kg of OMO, SUNLIGHT, KLIN and AERIEL to wash that mouth.
