According to Kolawole Ajeyemi, the rumor that Toyin Abraham is older than him is false because he is older than his wife and also entered the Nollywood profession before her.
When asked about his wife Toyin Abraham being more famous and wealthy than him, Kolawole Ajeyemi claimed it was no big problem because God owns fame and wealth and distributes it freely to whomever he chooses.
The following is an excerpt from the interview:
What do you think about claims that she is older than you, that she is wealthier, or that she is more popular?
(Laughs) I’ve promised not to talk about my family, but I believe I need to address this. I was born in 1979, and many of my coworkers are aware of my age. As I previously stated, I began working in the field in 1997, and I assume she did not begin working in the industry until recently.
Whether I am more popular or wealthy than she is, the fact remains that we are both well-known and wealthy. It makes no difference if my wife is wealthier than I am, as long as neither of us acts haughty toward the other. There is no problem because, in the end, it is beneficial to both sides; you help each other.
On popularity, I am also doing well for myself. I have been in the industry and doing well even before I met my wife, and I make my living from what I do. Currently, I have a clothing line – Kola Ajeyemi Clothings and Shoes. I also have a large farm, a very big one. So, I am doing well for myself and I am okay with that. She is doing well too and I have never for once wished she comes down. I am not that kind of guy, I wasn’t brought up that way. I pray she continues to go up and I remain at the top.
But my wife is not older than I am, I was born in 1979 and a lot of people know this. So, for those talking all about whether she is older than I am or not, they are the ones who cause issues between husbands and wives. I want to say they should stop that. If they don’t stop, those in the marriage too shouldn’t allow talks like that to get to them.
