Veteran Nollywood actor, Yemi Solade, has set the industry buzzing with a shocking revelation that’s ruffling feathers.
In a no-holds-barred statement, the outspoken actor declared that no female colleague in Nollywood can legitimately purchase a Mercedes-Benz G-Class (popularly known as G-Wagon) solely from acting income.
According to him, the Nigerian film industry simply doesn’t generate the kind of money that can fund such luxury.
“None of my female colleagues can buy a G-Wagon from acting. The industry doesn’t pay that much,” Solade said bluntly.
“Acting alone can’t fetch you that kind of money. Maybe from producing, yes, but not from acting. Except they have side hustles because how much are they going to pay you for one role? 50 million?”
He went further, suggesting that some of the exotic cars flaunted by actresses may have come through other means:
“Some are gifts, I want to believe so. Yes now, dem fit gift person G-Wagon.”
Solade, with his remarks has sparked fresh debates about Nollywood’s earnings, the lavish lifestyles of its stars, and the unspoken truths behind the glitz and glamour.
