rising yoruba actress and in this interview with the
Nigerian Tribune, She speaks with Stephen Gbadamosi
about her rising career.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
It is believed that in the Nigerian movie industry, when
you are out on location, many things happen like exchange
of s*x for roles. How would you react to
this?
To me, it's not a do-or-die affair. If anybody believes he has
to sleep with you before giving you a role, you have the right
to accept or reject such offer. I have gone through many
experiences but I have never experienced such. If I like you,
fine, I can date you.
You talked about going through many experiences, how
did you handle such situations?
Like the one that happened a long time ago, though it was an
English-speaking movie, I met with the woman who was to
act as my mother while Kola Oyewo was to be my father. At
the last stage of the movie, people really appreciated me for
the way I interpreted the role, they were so excited about my
talent but suddenly, the director of the movie came and
demanded for s*x....
I cried and called Uncle Muyiwa Ademola, he told me to be
calm and prayerful. I told Ayo Adesanya and Sunny Alli too.
Initially, I thought it was a joke because we had almost
concluded the movie and in fact, the costumier had called me
to come for the last costume of the last set, but to my
astonishment, the director was very resolute about his devilish
plans and insisted that if couldn't sleep with him, I should go
home.
How much will you take if you are asked to go n*ked in a
movie?
That thought has never crossed my mind for a day. The truth
is that no matter the price, I can never do such. I can never
expose myself because of money. That's outrageous. I am not
desperate.
Why can't you do?
I'm from a well-cultured home where such an act is highly
condemnable.
