“I’ve shed tears but I still stand”, Yoruba actor, Lateef Adedimeji shares challenges

Yoruba movie actor, Lateef Adedimeji, has spoken about challenges and pains he has had to face, and how they did not stop him from being happy, or moving forward

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the actor shared a photo alongside a message about resilience and gratitude.

“Life hasn’t always been easy, but I won’t let that stop me from being happy,” Adedimeji wrote.

“I’ve been wounded, I’ve shed tears, and I’ve engaged in battles that no one is aware of. But in spite of everything, I still stand, believe, and smile.

“My smile doesn’t mean that life is perfect; rather, it means that I haven’t overcome my obstacles.

“Give thanks to God for the bravery, grace, and fortitude to keep going.”

In May, the actor and Adebimpe ‘Mo Bimpe’ Oyebade, his celebrity wife, announced the birth of triplets, five years after their wedding. They described the newborns as “my world, my responsibility, and my legacy”.

The couple tied the knot in December 2021, though their journey to parenthood was not without public scrutiny.

Last year, Adedimeji addressed negative online comments about his family, revealing that a critic had once called his wife “barren”.

He said he often tells Mo Bimpe to ignore such remarks and emphasised that he feels no pressure from public speculation.

In 2022, Mo Bimpe opened up about her relationship with Adedimeji and how it led to their marriage. A year later, she revealed that her parents had initially opposed the union.
