Speaking in a recent interview, the comic actor recounted that he lived with his biological father for only eight months a brief period he described as filled with hostility, rejection, and emotional turmoil.
According to Inojie, trouble began almost immediately after he moved in with his father and stepmother, as tension in the household escalated daily. He claimed that the situation reached a breaking point when his stepmother allegedly forced his father to make a painful decision between keeping his marriage or accepting his son.
“In all my life, I’ve only lived with my father for eight months as his child. From the moment I moved in, it was trouble every single day. My stepmother told my father to choose between me and her, and he chose her,” he revealed.
