Bimbo Ademoye opened up in a recent interview that investing in Jade Osiberu’s film, “Gangs of Lagos” was the most profitable financial decision she had ever made.

 

The film, which was directed by Jade Osiberu and released on Amazon Prime, tells the story of a group of young people trying to survive in the dangerous and chaotic world Lagos underworld.

 

Ademoye’s investment in the film seems to have paid off handsomely, as “Gangs of Lagos” becomes a massive success, both critically and commercially.

 

The film has been praised for its bold storytelling, its powerful performances, and its unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities of life in Lagos underworld. And it was also a box office hit, grossing millions of naira in its first few weeks of release.

“Gangs of Lagos” is the first African original movie to be featured on the global streaming platform Amazon Prime.

 

In the interview, the actress expressed her long-time desire to invest in the film industry. However, she had reservations because she didn’t think filmmakers could recoup the enormous costs associated with film production, given their shooting style.

 

She stated that she chose to invest in Jade Osiberu’s film because the director is an enigma.

 

The actress said, “I just called and I’m like ‘Is there space?’ because it’s a Jade film. I was like ‘Oh is the queue long?’ And she [Jade] said ‘Even if there’s no space you know I got you!’”

 

In order to avoid missing out on another successful investment opportunity like she did with ‘Sugar Rush’, she was determined to seize the chance to invest in ‘Gangs of Lagos’.

 

Ademoye portrayed the character of Teni in the movie, who was the daughter of a wealthy gang leader and the love interest of Obalola, played by Tobi Bakre.

 

The 31-year-old actress has an estimated net worth of $200,000 in 2023.

 

Nollywood is a rapidly growing and increasingly important sector of the global entertainment industry.

 

According to report, Nollywood produces more films than Hollywood or Bollywood, and its reach extends far beyond Nigeria, with Nollywood films being watched by audiences around the world.

 

As Nollywood continues to grow and evolve, there will no doubt be many more opportunities for investors to get involved in the industry. And for those who are willing to take a chance, the potential rewards can be enormous.

Diddy Caught On Tape Assaulting Cassie Ventura [Video]

Published

on

Surveillance footage has revealed Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly engaging in a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 at the InterContinental Hotel Century City in Los Angeles.y

The video was obtained by CNN on Friday.

The video captures Ventura walking briskly down a hallway, carrying a purse and a small duffel bag, while Combs, wearing only socks and a towel around his waist, is seen running after her.

In the footage, the rapper, who is currently facing sexual abuse allegations from multiple women, is seen encountering Ventura at the elevator lobby.

He allegedly grabs her by the back of the neck, throws her to the ground, kicks her, takes her bags, and kicks her again before dragging her back toward the hallway.

Combs then retrieves Ventura’s bags and returns to the hotel room, while she uses a hotel phone by the elevators.

He later appears to shove her into a corner and throws an object at her off-camera.

According to Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, the newly revealed video reinforces the disturbing and predatory behavior exhibited by Mr. Combs.

He said “gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Ventura, who began her on-and-off relationship with Combs in the early 2000s when she was 19 and he was 37, settled her lawsuit against him just one day after filing it last November.

The suit alleged repeated physical and sexual abuse over more than a decade.

At the time, Combs “vehemently” denied the allegations, as stated by his attorney, Ben Brafman.

Following the settlement, Brafman emphasized that the undisclosed agreement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing on Combs’ part.

Brafman did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment regarding the footage published by CNN.

Following Ventura’s public allegations, numerous other women have come forward with similar accusations against Combs, all of which he has denied.

In March, Homeland Security agents conducted raids on multiple properties associated with the rapper.

While the exact nature of the raids remains unclear, a senior federal law enforcement official informed CNN that the team responsible for the raids typically handles cases related to human trafficking crimes.
