Speaking during an interview on TVC Entertainment, the actor explained why he turned down an opportunity to return to the series, stating that despite the visibility the role brought him, it did not provide the financial rewards he had expected.

According to him, his involvement in the production restricted him from taking on other acting opportunities that could have significantly boosted his career.

Lanre disclosed that after leaving Wura, he found himself spending more than he earned and battled severe financial hardship for months.

He said the experience was so challenging that within six months of exiting the show, his situation had deteriorated drastically, adding that YouTube projects eventually became his major source of financial recovery.

While acknowledging that the role gave him recognition and some personal fulfillment, he claimed that several promises made during negotiations were not fully honoured.

He further revealed that before joining the project, he was assured that he would not need to worry about missing other opportunities, but the demanding 11-month shooting schedule prevented him from participating in outside productions.

One of the biggest losses he mentioned was missing out on a role in House of Gaa.

According to Lanre, he had already worked on the project by translating it from English to Yoruba and was originally slated to play Alaafin Abiodun, but his commitment to Wura made it impossible.

Despite his revelations, the actor maintained that speaking out would not create legal issues, insisting that he contributed unique creative elements and signature nuances to the show that are still being used.
