Nollywood midget actor, Osita-Chinedu Ikedezie popularly known in the entertainment industry as 'Aki' has opened up on the rumored frosty relationship with his movie partner and friend, Osita Iheme, 'Pawpaw'. In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Aki insisted that he maintains cordial relationship with Pawpaw, stressing that they both featured in two yet-to-be released movies recently.
"I just finished shooting a film with my friend, Pawpaw. We have not been working together like in the past because we are both engaged in different projects.
"I am still shooting The Johnsons family series. When they gave us a month break, I quickly went to shoot two films with Pawpaw. I have kept many producers waiting, but some of them looked for other options. I am busy; Pawpaw is busy too. We don’t have any problem.
"I don’t like people carrying rumours, which explains why I don’t grant interviews any longer. The chemistry between me and Pawpaw is still there on and off the screen as he is more like a brother to me.”
The pair, Aki and Pawpaw were a household name in the early 2000s in Nollywood. The movie which brought to fame, Chinedu Ikedezie (Aki) and Osita Iheme (Pawpaw) soon became a part of their identity up until today. Soon after the movie, they were known by the monikers from the comedy movie. They grew awfully close and did a lot of movies together. However over the past few years, they seemed to have grown apart as they were rarely seen in movies or events together. This fueled the speculations that they had fallen apart for reasons known to the public. It turns out, that is not the case.
