In December, Ibrahim addressed claims of being an underrated actor in Nollywood. He stated that, contrary to popular belief, he wasn’t underrated, as he is a lucky person who has enjoyed so much Grace from God. Ibrahim revealed that he is one of the highest-paid Yoruba-speaking actors, and his colleagues know that his charges are high.
In recognition of his hardwork, the Ooni of Ife had honored him with an award. The award was to recognize him for his incredible dedication to his cultural heritage.
Elsewhere in the interview, Ibrahim had opened up on his past struggles as a bus conductor. He revealed that he once lived in a room with 9 people, and it was difficult. He said he would walk from Agege to Ikeja and even worked as a bus conductor for eight years.
Ibrahim has no doubt come a long way in his career.
Also, last year, his colleague, Odunlade Adekola had honored him with a recognition award for his contribution to the Yoruba movie industry.
To add to it, Ibrahim was left humbled following a visit by the Oyo State National Police Force (NPF) to his Film village. He shared a video of their visit, as he expressed how humbled he was to receive them.
In 2023, Nigerians had angrily reacted to the snub of Ibrahim Chatta by AMVCA, as he wasn’t nominated despite his role in Femi Adebayo’s film King of Thieves, which contributed greatly to the success of the movie. Speaking out for himself, Chatta lamented over how AMVCA didn’t give him an invite to the prestigious award ceremony. He stated that he wasn’t bothered by the lack of acknowledgment, however, his major concern was why he didn’t get invited to the ceremony, but his junior colleagues scored the invites.
