Revealing why he quit his acting career, Deyemi, who noted that he wasn’t fulfilled by the work,also claimed that the “pay was nonsense”.“

So, I quit acting in 2019. I quit because the pay was nonsense, the work was nonsense. And I just felt like I didn’t leave 9 – 5 work to come and do mediocre work.

“It was difficult to wake up in the morning and go to work, and what is the point of being passionate about something and then not being fulfilled by it. So I quit and then went back to 9-5 work”, he said.
