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.
