Actor Funsho Adeolu questions source of some Nollywood actresses’ wealth
Funsho Adeolu, the Nollywood actor, has questioned the
sources of wealth of some of his female colleagues.
In a recent chat with Teju Babyface on the King of Talk podcast,
Adeolu claimed that he charges more money per role than most Nollywood
actresses.
He argued that most actresses cannot fund their expensive
lifestyle from the money they make from movies.
The film star also wondered why some of his female
colleagues “ride bigger cars than me”.
“They can’t say they only make money from acting movies to
fund their lifestyle. These are people that if I collect N200,000 in a job,
they can’t collect N20,000 but are riding bigger cars than I am riding.
“What they do is come on set, show themselves on TV and so
they have the opportunities. They don’t have anything in their accounts.
“Going to big parties
and spraying money but when you get back home you’re calling somebody to come
and pay your house rent.
“All these people grew up in the village. 90% of them might
not think they would ever come to Lagos.”
Ali Baba, the comedian, previously took a swipe at Nollywood
actresses who flaunt unexplained wealth.
