Nollywood actor Rotimi Salami has spoken openly about his marriage, career struggles, and the long-standing rumors linking him romantically with fellow actress Allwell Ademola.
In an interview with actress Biola Bayo, Rotimi revealed that he once prayed to God for a wife with qualities similar to his mother, and God answered his prayer. Speaking on his connection with Allwell Ademola, Rotimi explained that actress Ronke Odusanya was planning to produce three new movies and was in search of a fresh face. At that time, Allwell was working as Ronke’s consultant and introduced him for the role. He credited Allwell for guiding him onto the career path that brought him fame, adding that since that introduction, he has consistently received acting jobs.
Rotimi, however, addressed the rumors that he and Allwell were romantically involved, stressing that their relationship was purely professional. “People said I was dating Allwell. She even called me about it,” he stated.
The actor also shared personal details, revealing his full name as Rotimi Abdulrasaq Salami and noting that he is a Muslim. He recalled his early struggles in the industry, from 2005 until his breakthrough in 2017. During those years, life was so difficult that he sometimes lacked transport fare to auditions, relying on the kindness of strangers who offered to pay his way.
Rotimi admitted that he grew up battling severe inferiority complex and only regained his self-confidence after becoming a celebrity. Offering advice, he said anyone who wishes to succeed in life should focus on solving people’s problems.
