Speaking durung an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, published on Saturday, Sobowale spoke about her lead role as Eniola Salami in Adetiba’s King of Boys.

While speaking on her relationship with the filmmaker, Sobowale noted that Adetiba knows her more than she knows herself.

“There’s something about Kemi Adetiba. Kemi Adetiba will tell you who Sola Sobowale is. I don’t even know myself. Kemi knows me more than I know myself,” Sobowale said.

She added, “Kemi Adetiba brought me out. I will say it anywhere. I don’t mind if it sounds like a broken record. I will echo it. I will sing it. I will shout it. She brought me out.”

Sobowale also noted that she never watched herself in movies but she had to watch King of Boys.
“I don’t watch myself but I had to watch myself during King of Boys,” the veteran added.

However, the actress experienced renewed fame in Kemi Adetiba’s Wedding Party, released in 2016.
