Omotola also hinted that she would be returning to the music studio to churn out more melodies.

Omotola also said in the interview that her first love was not movie production.

The actress went further to say she had always loved to play in the real estate sector and as such, she studied Estate management at the University of Lagos.

"My first love was not producing movies. I like real estate and I studied Estate Management. I actually do real estate as a business and I thought about how I could merge real estate and entertainment.

"That is what I wanted to do. I wanted to do real estate in entertainment and that is what I fell back into. I just want to get properties and begin to think of the process of building cinemas, film studios or film villages," Omotola said.
