Laide Bakare narrates her story.
The dream of every parent is for their children to follow
in their foot steps but not for popular actress, Laide Bakare. For
reasons best known to her, Laide has insisted that her daughter would
rather not become an actress like her. In as much as she wants her to
become famous, it would be in another profession not acting.
The Oyo State-born actress and University of Ibadan graduate of
Theatre Arts opened up to The Entertainer on her rise to stardom, her
s*x life and relationship with pop singer, 9ice. Excerpts:
What have you being doing lately?
I just made a multi-million naira movie. The movie is entitled,
Jejere and it features 9ice who played a major role including talented
actors like Emeka Ike, Akin Lewis, and Fathia Balogun among others. It
has really taken a lot of my energy because it is not just about me but
basically about being a business woman and entrepreneur, someone that
invested so much in a production company called, Simline Records. The
company is borne out of my love for music and the arts. My interest is
solely to help identify, grow and support talented youths.
What’s the main focus of your movie, Jejere?
Simline is putting together a world-class event to officially
unveil and present these projects. The event tagged: “The Laide Bakare
Experience” will witness the premiere of the movie, “Jerere” and
official presentation of my record label and its artistes.
