Speaking about his career with WAP TV in an interview with content creator, Lucky Udu, Pa James revealed that he still works with Wale Adenuga till date, and their relationship has remained strong. He shared how his role in the series gave him more fame than his previous movies.
According to him, acting in the series provided him with finances to be able to afford a car. He further explained that he was well paid according to the contract, although the name was trademarked, which prevented him from using the name.
He wrote:
“I still work with Wale Adenuga. He has been good to me. The show gave me more popularity than my earlier Yoruba films. Financially, he tried for me I bought my first car when I started working with him.
“Back then, we worked consistently, but now we may shoot a few episodes and not be called again for up to two years. These days, you need a side hustle to survive.
“I can feature in other movies, but I’m not allowed to use the name ‘Pa James’ because it has been trademarked. When I started, I earned N2,500 per episode. Now, it’s N45,000 per episode, and usually about 10 episodes."
