Veteran Nollywood actor Prince Adewale Adeyemo has died after succumbing to “a brief illness.”

“Hmmm, God, you know best RIP Prince Adewale Adeyemo,” Yoruba actor Kunle Afod posted on social media. “He passed on early today after a brief illness. God will comfort all his family, friends and colleagues.”

In 2021, Adeyemo was diagnosed with lung, liver, and kidney problems and later had surgery after donations from the public.

Prince Adewale Adeyemo was a prominent figure in the Yoruba movie industry and starred in several productions over the years. He was known for his unique acting style, which endeared him to fans and colleagues alike.

As fans and colleagues mourn the death of Prince Adewale Adeyemo, tributes have poured in on social media. Many have described him as a talented and professional actor who will be greatly missed.

The Nigerian entertainment industry has lost some of its brightest talents over the years, and the death of Prince Adewale Adeyemo is another reminder of the fragility of life. May his soul rest in peace and may God comfort his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Adeyemo’s demise occurred less than two weeks after two other Nollywood actors, Obinna Nwafor (Saint Obi) and Murphy Afolabi, died.

Saint Obi died on May 7 in Jos, and a week later, Afolabi died after reportedly collapsing in his bathroom.
