Jide Kosoko: Kemi Olunloyo’s father has apologised to me Over His Daughter's Comments

Veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, hasn’t opened up so easily since the death of his wife, Henrietta, some months back. It may seem the actor is still mourning and even the controversies the death generated thereafter didn’t help matters.

And concerning the controversies especially the allegations from a social media strategist, Kemi Olunloyo, that she suspected that the actor was a ritualist because he had lost three wives, Kosoko said that Olunloyo only spoke her mind and she had a right to air her opinion. He further said that it was a closed chapter because her father called him to apologise for his daughter’s utterance.

 “I do not want to go to Kemi Olunloyo’s issue because the chapter is closed. I do not want to dwell much on it because when people approached me and informed me of what she was saying, I said she was entitled to her opinion. She was voicing out, what about those that would not say anything but in their mind, they would say that I have lost about three wives? They are only being
human but the truth is that for Olunloyo, that is her opinion no matter how hurt I might have been with her utterances. By my nature, there was nothing I could do. But I appreciate her father who called me and apologised. He said some other things that I may not be able to share with the public.

“When she said all those things, I really did not reply because it is not in my nature and that time, I was mourning so her case was secondary. I am still mourning so there are very little things I want to say.”
