I didn’t understand Yoruba I spoke in King of Boys: Toni Tones
Nigerian movie star and outstanding “King of Boys” cast member, Toni Tones, marvels at her performance as she recalls her difficult experience learning Yoruba language for her role “Eniola Salami”.
The actress took to her Twitter page to reveal she needed a linguistic tutorial for her character in the current blockbusting series “The return of the king”, as she appreciates movie producer’s father Dele Adetiba for being her tutor.
“Learning Yoruba for KOB was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life, but God won 
Dele Adetiba, @kemiadetiba’s dad was my Yoruba tutor for King of boys, God bless that man for me” Ms Tones said.
Toni Tones played the young version of the lead role of Eniola Salami in the movie, an elderly Yoruba power-hungry philanthropist, who returned from exile to seek revenge and chase her political desire.
The Netflix special was released on August 27.
