Renowned Nollywood actor Femi Branch has opened up about the shocking reason behind his sudden exit from Yoruba-language films — and it’s nothing short of chilling.
In a revealing interview shared on Oyinmomo TV’s official YouTube channel, the veteran actor recounted a life-altering warning from a pastor who claimed his life was in danger due to ongoing spiritual attacks from unknown forces within the industry.
According to Branch, the pastor reached out via phone with a direct and frightening message: “If you don’t leave the industry, you won’t survive the next attack.” She warned that the spiritual assaults were intensifying and that his continued participation in movies could lead to certain death.
Taking the prophecy seriously, the actor began to pull away from Yoruba film roles. “After the terrible incident that happened to me, I couldn’t go to movie locations and had to stay home for a while,” he said. “The same pastor called me again and said if I still refused to listen, something I won’t survive would happen to me for the third time.”
Branch also confirmed that he had already survived multiple spiritual attacks, describing them as intense and dangerous. He believed stepping back was the only way to protect his life and peace of mind.
His revelation has sparked widespread discussion, with fans and Nollywood insiders reflecting on the spiritual dimensions of fame and success in the industry. Many are praising Branch for his courage and honesty, while others are debating the influence of unseen forces on actors’ lives behind the scenes.
Whether you believe in the spiritual realm or not, Femi Branch’s story serves as a stark reminder that the glitz of Nollywood often hides untold battles far beyond the camera lens.
