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”.

“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.
