The actor also spoke about his marriage of almost four years to actress Mo Bimpe and revealed how she consistently gets trolled online, with netizens calling her barren because they are yet to have a child.
Lateef revealed she usually shows him messages they troll her with online.
The actor, who appeared heartbroken, stated that people don’t know what they go through and do not understand their plan if they want to hold back on giving birth in the meantime.

“My wife and I have received a lot of trolling. Recently, someone called her barren on social media. She would always show it to me and would say they would be all right,” he said.

In his words:
“When I wanted to do my first big screen job, Lisabi, I realized that everybody that I felt would stand by me was not there; there was nobody.”
