Veteran Nollywood comedian Adeola Kazeem, popularly known as Lanko Omo Oba Dubai, has spoken about his painful family struggles, past controversies, and survival in the movie industry.
The Abeokuta-born actor shared his story during an emotional interview with FEELRIGHTNEWS TV on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
Lanko recalled one of his most heartbreaking experiences — his father’s rejection. According to him, his father turned his back on him for eight years because of his passion for acting. Years later, when his father fell sick and was left unattended in a Lagos hospital, his stepmother reached out to him for help.
He explained that his popularity drew the doctors’ attention when he arrived, which eventually led to his father receiving treatment. “He told me that if someone had told him I would be the child to take care of him, he would never have believed,” Lanko revealed.
Addressing rumors about his personal life, the actor denied ever marrying a house help, saying, “I never married my house help because I never had house help.”
Speaking on his failed marriage, Lanko made shocking claims about his ex-wife, describing her as violent. “My ex-wife is a devil. She once attacked me with a cutlass, injuring my head and hand, which left my hand imbalanced,” he recounted.
He further disclosed that the same woman later introduced another lady to him under the guise of learning acting. Unexpectedly, she went on to become the mother of his four children.
Despite his troubled past, the comic star stated that he is now at peace, happily married, and fully focused on his career and family.
