​Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Tayo Sobola, widely known as Sotayo Gaga, recently left audiences and fans amused following a candid revelation on Adebayo Ridwan’s—popularly known as Isbae U—hit interview program, Curiosity Made Me Ask.

​During her appearance on the show, the versatile scriptinterpreter shared an untold, nostalgic encounter involving the comedian’s late father, veteran Nollywood actor Kamal Adebayo, affectionately remembered by fans and colleagues as Sir Kay or Sir K. According to Sotayo Gaga, the late veteran actor had once approached her with a specific request to link his son up with indigenous rap heavy-hitter and YBNL Nation boss, Olamide, to kick-start a budding music career.

​Recounting the past conversation, the actress noted that rather than facilitating the connection immediately, she opted to prioritize the young content creator’s foundational upbringing. She recalled telling the late actor to hold off on the entertainment industry ambitions and instead direct his son’s focus toward completing his formal education.
