A popular movie marketer and CEO of Adekaz Productions, Kazeem Adeoti, has addressed the controversy on his decision to marry the Nollywood diva, Mercy Aigbe.
Adekaz, as Adeoti is popularly known in movie industry, in a recent interview with Oyinmomo TV, spoke extensively on his early working relationship with Aigbe and how her honesty and straightforward character distinguished her in the industry.
“Mercy Aigbe is someone that I’ve known for a long time. I knew she’s an actress even before I met her in person,” he said.
“When I got into the industry, I worked with a lot of people including her. What I love and admire most about her is that she’s truthful and straightforward.”
Recall that Mercy Aigbe revealed Adeoti as her husband in 2022.
Adekaz, who doubles as the Chairman, Ibaka TV, shared a specific incident from 2011 while working with Aigbe on a film project titled Hajia Jemila, which left a lasting impression on him.
“I remember in 2011 when she acted in a movie for me titled ‘Hajia Jemila’. After I paid her, I was used to people telling me money isn’t enough. But in her case, she said that some money still remained. I was surprised. She’s a woman who still stays true to herself.”
He attributed their eventual union to divine will of God, stating that “When God has said that we will become a couple, it happened. And to the glory of God, he is blessing us.”
Adekaz also acknowledged Aigbe’s role in shaping some of his decisions as a filmmaker.
“We’re working in the same industry, and she is an experienced actress, so there’s no way she won’t have influence,” he said.
“She knows about what we do. I usually ask to hear her ideas on several things, and she would let me know what she thinks. She has a busy schedule so she only interferes when I ask.”
