She recounted:

“There was a time I wanted to shoot a movie, and I told Lateef Adedimeji that he would be part of it. He told me point-blank that he only wants to feature in movies with fortunate people. I was like, who are those who are not fortunate? I was pained at first by his statement, but I moved on."

The actress said that despite her disappointment, she didn’t hold a grudge against him.

However, a few months later, she tried reaching out to Lateef again to connect him with another producer, only to find out she had been blocked.

Habibat said she was surprised when she couldn’t reach the actor through Instagram messages. Upon checking his page, she realised he had blocked her.

“He blocked me for like four years and only unblocked me in January 2025,” she revealed, adding that she never understood what led to such action.
