The actor, husband of Mo Bimpe, shared the revelation on his Instagram page, describing moments when life unexpectedly improves.
“I am evidence of His Grace and Mercy. One day, without warning, it just gets better. You catch yourself smiling for no reason. The light returns. You’re no longer surviving. You’re living,” Lateef wrote.
The testimony comes days after Adedimeji received five nominations at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
He expressed humility at the recognition, attributing his success to faith, perseverance, and divine favour.
Lateef recalled his early career challenges, including scepticism from industry peers when colleague Yewande Adekoya handpicked him for a role.
He admitted that personal production failures almost made him give up, but continuous effort and free work eventually led to recognition.
The actor also recounted advice from a mentor in the Yoruba movie industry, who predicted he would fail within a year.
Lateef challenged this prediction, promising results within two years, and ultimately proved his resilience.
Reflecting on his journey, Lateef said his career growth was rooted in determination and the refusal to give up.
