Speaking about his participation in King of Boys, and why he will no longer be acting, Reminisce said:

REMINISCE: I mean, my participation in King of Boys was just me wanting to try new things out, same way I just tried sports out, same way I may just wake up tomorrow and say how far Channels? I want to read news for one month. I'm crazy like that. I just want to see what it's like. I'm crazy like that, I just want to try it. Banky W called me like "oh this babe, Kemi, wants to reach out to you", then Kemi Adetiba calls me and I'm like "Ah, I'm busy, December is out. Let's try January", and then she sent me the script. I didn't read it, I wasn't interested. So Edward was now like "Let's try it now? This babe did Wedding Party, and so it probably would be nice and you've always said you want to try something else so let's try it". So I'm like okay, fine. Then I remember the first day on set was my birthday, and baddo was at Club 57 waiting, and we were filming in Ikoyi, and then I now got to set and I saw Aunty Sola in her full element like shouting. Then whenever she makes mistake, she will talk to herself so I just called Kemi like "ah, I have to go to 57, boys are waiting for me". She said "why?" I said "I can't do this, I'm not built for what I just saw now". She said "No no no, it doesn't matter". So we kept on filming and I think the first full day on set, everybody was now like let's read your side in group read, and that's the day everybody discovered that I've not even opened the script. So I basically ran myself through it, Kemi was really helpful, and I don't think my character was designed to be the main villain in the first one but something just happened and shit popped and I was like this is a win, I'll take it.

Then Reminisce was asked "But people are expecting that after that, you'll want to do more acting" to which he said:

REMINISCE: No please. No, sorry my dear. Sorry my dear, I would have loved to fulfill your wishes, but no. I'm not acting again. I'm not interested anymore. I'm not.
