The actor has revealed during an interview with Sunday Scoop, that she is not related by blood but he appears as a father figure to her.
Speaking on Jasmine’s decision to marry the US-based man she met on TikTok, he stated that he is in support of it and would continue praying for them.
In his words;
“She is not my biological daughter but I trained her. She calls me daddy and I call her daughter. I am okay with it (her getting married). I have been praying for them and I will keep on doing that.
“Man and woman got to know each other one day. It is a gradual process. However, I don’t want to see tears.”
Also speaking on the early stages of his career and how he got to overcome the troubles that came with it, he said:
“My experience in the industry has been nice but in the course building my career, I encountered a lot of bad people. I was beaten publicly several times because of the roles I have played. I have also received slaps for free but those incidents did not get me angry.”
Asked if he is in support of those who say entertainers should stop vouching for politicians if they cannot tell them the truth about the plight of the masses when it matters, Mr. Ibu said:
“(I am) completely okay (with it). I have rejected many invitations to be part of the campaigns of politicians. Any politician that does not have the interest of the people at heart should not be voted for.
“Many of them (politicians) will use every language they know to get on the good side of the public and get their votes. But, when they get into office, they would not give the public what they promised. That is why it is hard for me to go for campaigns. I walked into (Bola) Tinubu’s own. I was told he called us for a meeting. I walked in and saw a campaign going on.”
Speaking on his facial characteristics, with that or his children, he said;
“God forbid that my children look like me. There must be something wrong with any of my children who decides to resemble me.”
