Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has addressed claims that he is an underrated actor in the industry.
Speaking during an interview on Talk to B, a podcast hosted by his colleague Biola Bayo, Chatta dismissed the notion, emphasizing his gratitude for the grace he has received from God.
Contrary to public perception, the Yoruba movie star described himself as fortunate, revealing that he enjoys one of the highest pay rates among Yoruba-speaking actors.
He attributed misconceptions about his status to his low-key presence on social media.
“And I will say this to my fans: I love you so much. You guys are amazing people. A lot of times, people will say Ibrahim Chatta is underrated. No, I am one lucky bastard. I have enjoyed the grace of God too much. I don’t deserve the things God did to me,” he said.
Chatta explained that his charges are well-known among his colleagues in the industry.
“I am one of the highest-paid Yoruba-speaking actors. My colleagues know that my charges are high, but because they don’t see me posting things on social media, they think otherwise,” he noted.
The actor also expressed appreciation to his fans, acknowledging their role in his success despite his lack of formal education.
He revealed that his early career earnings from music and soundtracks allowed him to demand fair compensation for his acting roles, even before his peers began requesting fees for movie appearances.
