TeeFamous, a well-known Yoruba singer and actor, has talked candidly about one of the most tragic events in his career, which left him crying for days.
During an interview on Kunleafod TV’s official YouTube channel, TeeFamous revealed how he discovered the actual payment he was supposed to receive for a film project after working on set for six days. However, the reality of what he was eventually paid left him devastated.
Recalling the incident, he shared, “I worked on a movie set for six days. Luckily, I got the chance to see the payment list, and when I saw the amount assigned to me, I felt really happy. I didn’t ask the actor in charge about the payment because I trusted that he would give me what was due. After filming, he offered me a ride, and just as I was about to get out of his car, I asked about my money. He acted like he had forgotten, then reached into his pocket and handed me just 500 Naira. I was in shock.”
