Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade, has berated filmmakers who offer actors little money in exchange for their services.
In an interview with Rubbin Minds, the mother of two said acting is a job and shouldn’t be done as favours as expected by some filmmakers.
She also advised filmmakers to make use of social media apps as an avenue to sell their market.
Adunni said, “This is not me calling anyone out. I’m saying it is time for actors in the film industry to get paid for what they do.
“Stop asking talents to do you a favor with their work and you pay them peanuts.
“She said stakeholders must let go of greed and quit exploiting talents in the name of giving them a platform.
“People need to let go of greed. A lot of people want an actor or filmmaker to just help them. You cannot keep doing that and getting rich while they remain on the same spot. It happens a lot in Yoruba Nollywood.
“People not from wealthy backgrounds do whatever to break in. I keep telling people what will be, will be. You don’t have to rush and become famous.
“You have social media and more avenues now to break into the industry without having to sell your soul.”
