Nigeria’s Nollywood community has been abuzz following a heartfelt interview from seasoned actor Ibrahim Chatta, who has finally spoken publicly about the end of his marriage to fellow entertainer Olayinka Solomon.
In an exclusive sit-down with media personality Abiola Ayomide Adebayo, Chatta opened up about the emotional toll of the breakup and the swirling rumors that have dogged his career and personal life for years.

“We never had an abusive marriage. I have decided not to talk about her, out of respect. But we were never violent with each other. People just chose their own narratives,” he said.
The actor, known for his commanding performances and deep involvement in Yoruba cinema, described the separation as painful but peaceful.
“We’ll remain best of friends,” he added, his voice heavy with emotion. “Life happened. People grow apart. That’s all.”
