Nollywood actor Funsho Adeolu has raised concerns about the financial sources of his female counterparts in the industry.
During an interview with Teju Babyface, the Yoruba actor disclosed that despite earning higher paychecks per movie compared to many Nollywood actresses, he observes them driving larger cars than he does.
Adeolu expressed skepticism about whether these actresses generate sufficient income solely from acting to sustain their extravagant lifestyles. He suggested that some actresses only appear on set to maintain the illusion that their wealth stems from their acting careers.
"I charge more money per movie than most Nollywood actresses, but they ride bigger cars than I do. They can’t say they make all that money from acting movies to fund their lifestyle. People that if I collect N200,000 in a job, they can’t collect N20,000, they are riding bigger cars than I am riding. What they do is come on set, show themselves on TV, so they have the opportunity to."
Adeolu's remarks highlight concerns within the industry regarding the transparency of income sources and the disparity between perceived wealth and actual earnings among actors and actresses.
