Nigerian-born American rapper Jidenna has showered praises on the 2019 film Living in Bondage: Breaking Free and its lead star Swanky JKA.
Living in Bondage: Breaking Free marked the directorial debut of actor Ramsey Nouah and was both a critical and commercial success.
In a video posted on Twitter, Jidenna is seen with the lead actor of the movie, Swanky JKA, and poured encomium on him, calling him an “amazing lead.”
Jidenna said:
“To have a landmark film, to have an amazing lead (points to Swanky JKA), who was funny, entertaining, gripping, could make you cry and laugh at the same time… To me, that’s what Nigeria is about.
That’s what this film was about. And 27 years from the original, this has done the original more than a great service. I think it’s done the country a great service…”
