In the pursuit of complete creative development, fortune can cast us into opportunities never considered, but highly gratifying. Through a series of opportunities, and in keeping with his determined artistic re-introspection, rapper Ladipoe finds himself headlining a brand-new film in collaboration with Amazon, all of which concludes an already successful musical year 2024. We sat down with him and talked about this new career path.<\/strong><\/p>\n This news was welcomed with a great deal of enthusiasm and an excitement about the outcome. Indeed, the announcement of the movie \u201cChristmas In Lagos\u201d release brought a massive amount of interest, with one of the lead roles cast to Nigerian star Ladipoe, who shared with us how the opportunity was brought to him : \u201cThe director Jadesola Osiberu is one of the new leader of the cinema wave out of Nigeria. She has done some really good film and she was interested in casting me for one of her movie. They have reached out to me even though I never express my wish of acting in any way. In fact, I was nervous about it. At first, I declined because I didn\u2019t think that it would fit my profile. Then I sat down with my team, and they convinced me otherwise, seeing a great opportunity in it. I grab the confidence from my inner circle, and it helped me doing it. So, in the end I accepted the part, and I also really liked the story, which is Christmas in Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n This romantic Christmas comedy, directed by Jadesola Osiberu, is set in Lagos during the end-of-year festivities, a time when Lagos is particularly animated and passionate. The symbolic effect is therefore very compelling and has seduced the Nigerian rapper: \u201cThis is a good film to act for the first time and I wanted to explore my creativity. It was a really good experience, and I was honored to work with Jade and Amazon on this one. This was the first time in a long time that I\u2019ve done something I\u2019m unfamiliar with in front of people. This reminded me what it is to be a creative. You must step out your comfort zone and prove to yourself that you can do anything. I have huge respect for the work that every name written in the credits have put on to build a proper film. This experience gave me a real confidence boost.\u201d<\/p>\n \n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/harmattanrain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Ladipoe_Wide-1-scaled.jpg?resize=960%2C1200&ssl=1)
