Zack Amata Marries After Five Children From Five Women
Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Amata on Saturday, September 23,2017, got married to his sweet heart. He is the father of famous film maker, Jeta Amata and the elder bother of veteran actor Fred Amata. He has five children from five women he was never married to.
Many are surprised that the head of the Amata clan is just getting married for the first time. Jeta once spoke about his father’s single status. “My father is not married, he has five children from five different women and I am the first”.
But all that has changed now as the veteran actor decided to walk down the aisle with a much younger bride. Zack is the head of the Amata clan in Nollywood that comprises Fred Amata, Ruke Amata, Mena Amata and his son, Jeta Amata, all in the Nollywood industry.
This family’s love for acting should not come as a surprise as the patron of the family, late John Amata was a famous Nigerian playwright and actor.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
