Nollywood actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji has emphasized that fame is fleeting and should never define a person’s true worth.

“Fame is fake. It doesn’t define you—your identity does. Your values and your purpose are what truly matter. Fame can come and go,” Adedimeji said.
The actor further challenged aspiring entertainers to focus on their craft before seeking recognition.
“A lot of people pursue fame first without building the craft. When the spotlight eventually dims, what becomes of you? At the end of the day, when you are alone, who are you?” he added.
Adedimeji’s remarks have sparked conversations about the pressures of celebrity life and the importance of grounding success in character and purpose rather than external validation.
