Ibrahim Chatta Says He’s Not Underrated, Calls Himself One of the Highest-Paid Yoruba Actors
Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has addressed claims that he is underrated in the Nigerian film industry.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Talk To B podcast, the talented actor, known for his work in Yoruba cinema, confidently dismissed the perception that his skills are undervalued.
He made it clear that he is, in fact, among the highest-paid Yoruba-speaking actors in the industry, proving that his contributions are well-recognized where it matters most.
Chatta, who hails from the Nupe ethnic group in Kwara State, reflected on his journey to fame.
Before becoming a household name, he spent years working on his skills behind the scenes, referring to himself as a “studio rat” during his early days.
He revealed that his first steps in the entertainment industry involved writing promotional jingles and composing soundtracks for movies, an experience that helped build his resilience and creativity.
He explained how taking on responsibilities at a young age shaped his character and fueled his determination.
Despite struggling financially at the time, he chose to hide his hardships from his mother.
“I told my mum that I was doing okay and she didn’t need to send me food. But the truth was, I wasn’t comfortable at all,” Chatta admitted.
To make ends meet, he worked part-time as a bus conductor for weeks at a time.
These challenges, he noted, made him stronger and more determined to succeed.
His big break came when he started writing and composing soundtracks for movies, eventually creating music for over 400 films and promotional jingles for more than 400 companies.
During this period, Chatta wasn’t yet recognized for his acting talent, but his work behind the scenes laid the foundation for his future success.
He set up studios in various locations, including Ikeja, Lagos, where he spent countless hours writing songs, singing, and performing.
Afrobeats star Oxlade has shared how Fireboy DML played a major role in shaping his music journey. Speaking during a recent livestream with popular content creator Shank Comics, he said Fireboy’s guidance in the early days of his career completely transformed the way he made music.
Oxlade praised Fireboy’s songwriting skills, calling him unmatched in the Nigerian music scene. He revealed that learning from Fireboy helped him understand how to properly structure songs before he eventually developed his own style. According to him, Fireboy’s support and mentorship were “life-changing” and a key part of his growth as an artist.
Media personality Radiogad has stirred fresh drama online with claims about the real reason behind the ongoing feud between activist VeryDarkMan and Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Radiogad dismissed the widely held belief that their clashes are mainly connected to the Mohbad case. Instead, he alleged that VeryDarkMan is secretly in love with Iyabo Ojo but has never found the courage to tell her.
He suggested that the activist’s frequent online attacks on the actress might be rooted in personal feelings rather than genuine public interest. According to him, VeryDarkMan has a thing for older women and single mothers, which could explain his fixation on Iyabo Ojo.
Nigerian Media Personality, Radiogad, speculates on the reason behind VeryDarkMan and Iyabo Ojo’s feud.
It can be noted that the pair have been dragging themselves online as VDM calls out Iyabo Ojo usually in Late singer Mohbad’s case. Meanwhile Iyabo reacts and addresses the matter.
Radiogad then reacts and claims he knows the reason “I know the problem and I been no wan talk am but the way two of Una are going about it I am going to have to say it. Verydarkman you are in love with Iyabo Ojo but you no know how you go tell am.”
Fans then react to Radiogad’s claims and many state that the idea is impossible.
