Funsho Adeolu, a Nollywood actor, has questioned the riches of some of his female colleagues.
During a recent interview with Teju Babyface on the King of Talk podcast, Adeolu stated that he demands higher fees per role than most Nollywood actresses.
He contended that most actresses cannot afford their luxurious lifestyles with the money they get from movies.
The actor reportedly pondered why some of his female colleagues “ride bigger cars than me”.
“I charge more money per movie than most Nollywood actresses but they ride bigger cars than I do,” he said.
“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.
