Rotimi Salami

Nollywood star Rotimi Salami has broken his silence after the tragic passing of his dear friend and mentor, actress Allwell Ademola, who succumbed to a heart attack on December 27, 2025.

Following the shocking news, fans flooded Rotimi’s social media with messages of support, worried about how he was coping with the loss.

In an emotional Instagram post, the grieving actor pleaded with the public not to offer condolences if they see him, fearing he might collapse under the weight of his sorrow.

“Please, don’t console me if we meet—I’ll fall apart. I still can’t say goodbye, Shuga Boo. Nothing feels right right now,” he confessed.

He continued, “Three days of endless tears haven’t brought my Shuga Boo back. But for our loved ones, friends, and fans—especially my children, who need my strength—I’ll try to stand tall as we face life without Allwell Ademola.”

Rotimi also expressed gratitude to those who reached out, though he admitted struggling to respond. “To everyone who’s shown love and concern, I see you. But I’m too shattered to read, reply, or even put my pain into words.”
