As she recounted in an interview with Punch on Saturday, her roommate, a skilled actress, had asked Adeoye to join her for an audition, and despite her reluctance, Adeoye agreed.
However, fate had other plans. When they arrived at the audition, Adeoye’s roommate was held up in class, and Adeoye ended up registering for the audition on a whim.
To her surprise, she was called for the role and landed it. It was a twist of events that would mark the beginning of her acting career.

She said, “To be honest, acting was not my intention. It was something that was born as a result of my trying to push somebody to act. So, there was this roommate back in school who was a very good actress, and I was pushing her to go for auditions, and then she said if I didn’t go with her, she wouldn’t go for that audition, that she needed moral support, and so I went with her.
“But I ended up getting there before her because she had a class that day or so, and I was just like, ‘let me just drop my name’, because they were writing numbers. And I couldn’t write her name for her, so I just wrote my name, and they called me, and I got the role. That was how acting started for me.”
Asked kept her in the industry after the first role, Adeoye said, “The honest truth is that I didn’t like acting. It’s very time-consuming, and because I’m also a content creator, and in one to five minutes, I am done shooting my content. I can control how long it is going to be, unlike acting, which is dependent on other actors, the production crew, the console, camera, and lights.
“So, it’s more time-consuming than content creation, but I just decided to try again. I didn’t act for a while, but I decided to try again after I had my second child. They called me for two different movies around the same time, and I just said, ‘Let me do it.’”
