He shed some light on how his father was ‘abusive’ towards his kids due to the way he treated them.
“I was disowned many times” – Seyi Awolowo
The controversial actor revealed that his father disowned him many times, and because he was an ‘Awolowo’, many thought he did not need help because he came from money.
His father also occasionally wrote letters indicating that he had been removed from his allowances.
Although Seyi Awolowo’s parents were not separated, his father married three wives, so the children received their fair share of unjust treatment.
