Olusegun Akinremi, the legendary Yoruba star, popularly known as "Chief Kanran," has recourse to begging to hold his body and soul together.
The famous script interpreter is seeking financial support from Nigerians to help him secure accommodation after he lost his home in 2017 due to a fire incident.
In an interview a famous host for the Yoruba radio talk show, Kola Olootu, he revealed this.
Amid hot tears streaming down his cheeks, Chief Kanran noticed that he was literally begging for food on the streets but for his star status.
He does not ask for the money to eat but for some money to resume his career as an artist again, he says.
Read what he said below…
“Seven years ago, things got bad for me. I was not ill and whatever will make me ill and people will start contributing for me, I thank God that it did not happen to me. However, what is currently happening to me is more than being ill. In 2017, my home got burnt from top to down and my wife and children deserted me.”
“My studio, where all my equipment are, also got burnt. Since the incident happened over a year ago, I have been sleeping in my church as I don’t have money to rent an apartment. Feeding has also been difficult for me. All my four cars are no longer with me. I sold one to feed, one got burnt, another one got knocked,” he said.
