- She avers that it is wrong to judge people merely because they have tattoos, adding that there are people who do not have tattoos but are evil in their ways

- She has a new movie titled ‘Bella’, which is yet to be released
- Sotayo has produced three movies titled ‘Arewa Onijogbon’, ‘Corper jide’ and ‘Bella’.

- She has acted alongside a number of high profile actors, including Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo, Yemi Blaq and a host of others.
- Her acting journey began with English Nollywood movies.
- Did you know she acts better and more comfortably in English movies compared to Yoruba movies, where she once admitted she usually strives to blend?
- Sotayo is of Yoruba origin, but she still struggles with the language. “I am Yoruba. But when it comes to the dialectical part of it, then it becomes an effort to speak the language,” she recently disclosed
- She’s not sure if she can comfortably kiss a girl in a movie if the script requires her to do so.
- Some of the most challenging roles she has played include ‘Corper Jide’, where she played the role of a suffering girl, Moremi and ‘Fighting Chance’, where she had to cut her hair and speak ghetto language. It was so challenging that she had trouble recognising herself afterward.
- Sotayo is extra careful when offered scripts, she does not accept every script she gets.

- She is free-spirited and quite down-to-earth.
- She believes that sex has to be before marriage and not after. Her explanation:”You don’t know how good or how fertile the person is and you should know that before you get into marriage. It’s not like you’re trying to get pregnant before wedding, what I’m trying to say is that you have to know how healthy a person is before you can you go into marriage. Marriage is not something you pop in and out of just like that, so you have to know your partner very well, sexually and otherwise before you jump into it.”
- Sotayo believes neither the man nor the woman should enjoy sex more than the other. She expects both to make it a mutually beneficial exercise.
- She once said that people who pretend to hate sex are actually those who enjoy it the most.
- Sotayo was sexually harassed in 2004 but has refused to mention the name of the person. “I know one day I’m going to run into that person and look straight into his eyes again,” she said.
- At the time of listing these facts, she does not smoke.
- If you spot her smoking in a movie, it is an electronic cigarette.
- She believes sexual harassment is not restricted to Nollywood, adding that it happens even in churches and mosques
- Sotayo, however, reveals that in Nollywood, sexual harassment is real, adding that it was once so bad it forced her to stop acting. “I just stopped acting and went to complete my education. I had a diploma in Law from Lagos State University and got my first degree in Public Administration from Onabisi Onabanjo University. Because of sexual harassment I just stopped everything that had to do with entertainment. I was so discouraged,” she said.
- She affirms that sex with a producer is not a 100 per cent guarantee to secure role in a movie, adding that sometimes some callous producers sleep with actresses and still don’t give her a role.
