‘Wale Adenuga trademarked my character name,’– Actor Pa James

Nollywood actor Kehinde Olasehinde, popularly known as Pa James, has opened up on his experience working with veteran producer Wale Adenuga.

While speaking in an interview with Lucky Udu, Pa James who starred on the popular TV series Papa Ajasco and Company, stated that the show brought him widespread recognition and financial stability. He also revealed that he bought his first car from the earnings made while working with Wale Adenuga.

”I still work with Wale Adenuga. He has been good to me. Working with him gave me popularity even more than when I was in Yoruba movies. On money aspect, he really tried for me. I bought my first car when I started working with him. Before, we used to work back to back but now, once we shoot some episodes, they might not call us again until two years. To work with him now, you must have a side hustle so that you can pay your bills. I can work in other movies but I must not bear Pa James because the name has been trademarked. When I first started working with Wale Adenuga, I was paid N2,500 per episode. Right now, it is N45,000 per episode and it’s about 10 episodes,” Pa James stated.
