Popular rapper turned actor, Tobechukwu Ejiofor, also known as Illbliss, has revealed how the movie series King of Boys has changed his life.
The rapper, who has been getting several reviews for his role as ‘Odogwu Malay’, said this in a recent interview.
He noted that the movie introduced him to a new world in the entertainment industry.
According to him, people do not know him as the rapper but as an important figure in the movie.
Illbliss stated that he has been receiving roles since then but he is taking his time to make the right choice. He noted that the movie series changed his life positively.
He said, “Nobody even remembers if I am IllBliss or Oga boss. The movie sold me to a new generation of film lovers. It was my first film. It was an experiment but it ‘blew up’.
“I am going to do more films but I am taking my time. As I speak to you, I have about 12 scripts on the table. Everybody is trying to have another ‘Odogwu Malay’. They are trying to typecast me and I have refused.
“The people I look up to are very dynamic— from Denzel Washington to Wesley Snipes. I will also be producing films in 2022. I am doing everything— short films, documentaries and feature films.
“I would also be putting out good music in 2022. King of Boys changed everything for me. It opened up new doors, corporate relationships and a new fan base. I don’t have a life anymore.”
He also thanked the director of the movie, Kemi Adetiba, for the opportunity given to him.
