Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has dismissed the idea that he is undervalued within the film industry.
In a recent appearance on the ‘Talk To B’ podcast, the Nupe-born actor asserted that he does not consider himself underrated, emphasizing that he ranks among the highest-paid Yoruba-speaking actors in Nigeria.
“A lot of time some people say Ibrahim Chatta is underrated. No I’m not. I’m one of the highest-paid Yoruba-speaking actors in Nigeria,” he said.
Chatta also shared that prior to achieving fame, he worked as a “studio rat,” producing promotional jingles and soundtracks for films.
“I gave myself responsibility because I discovered it would make me stronger.
“At a point, I told my mum that I was comfortable and that she shouldn’t bother sending me foodstuffs.
“But I wasn’t comfortable. So, I would work for about a week or two as a bus conductor and I would get somebody.
“Then I got lucky and I started writing and composing movie soundtracks. I did movie soundtracks for over 400 films, I did promotional jingles for over 400 firms.
“Then I wasn’t known as an actor. I had studios in Ikeja and other places. At a point, I was a studio rat. I would go to the studio, write songs, sing and perform,” he recalled.
