In other news, Rotimi Akinosho has opened up about what his wife encountered while trying to build a music career, and the fallout has already begun.
The Nigerian-American actor and singer made the revelation in a clip from an old interview on the ‘’Hardly Initiated podcast’’, which was reshared online. Rotimi, best known for his role as "Dre" on the Starz series ‘’Power’’, spoke candidly about how his wife navigated an industry he described as riddled with manipulation, especially towards women who refused to submit to powerful men.

"She has been approached to elevate to the next level. Like witchcraft, voodoo, juju, all of that is a real thing to get to the next level in career. She has been presented opportunities like, hey, this is what we do, this is how we move, these are the things that you have to do to get to this level by top executives. But she was like, I'm not with it. And then also, she wasn't gonna sleep her way to the top. At that point she was like, I love music but I hate the business."
He said.
