Hours ago, his colleague, Cute Abiola jokingly knocked him for crediting his hard work for it. He revealed that a woman bought the house for the actor, as his YouTube movie views are only 150 million.

In 2024, Itele splashed millions on a house and a car following the success of his movie project. His colleague, Olayinka Solomon, shared the good news on her Instagram page, posting a photo of the actor’s new house and car.

The double blessings came months after he acquired a car, to reward himself for his hard work. The good news was shared by Olayinka Solomon, who shared photos of his new whip.

While counting down to his birthday, the award-winning actor had splashed out millions on two new cars as gifts. Sharing photos of the cars, he expressed his humility and gratitude, revealing that the cars were a gift to himself.

A while back, he topped headlines after his popular movie, Koleoso, hit 100 million views on YouTube, becoming the first Nollywood title and the first African movie title to hit this milestone. Bragging, he made it known that he is the first to pull this stunt in the history of Nollywood.

Reflecting on his struggles, he noted how he went from being overlooked to being overwhelmed, and how he grew from that boy from the hood that people once ignored. He spoke about his success and told his fans not to give up.

The past year was a winning year for Itele as he celebrated his movie making the list of Nigeria’s 2025 most searched series. Itele noted how the record is loud and the growth is real. He expressed gratitude for the journey, organic growth, real audience, and impact.

In an interview earlier last year, Itele opened up on his pre-fame struggles, revealing he faced challenges that almost took his life. He recounted how he sold jewellery at Bauchi village and credited one Papa T and Femi Adebayo for helping him out.

The talented actor was ranked among the Top 10 YouTube creators in Nigeria. He expressed gratitude for the love, support, and the journey so far. He appreciated his Koleoso family for believing in him, standing strong and for pushing the vision.
