Veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo claims that homosexuality, sex workers, and Brazilian Butt Lift should not be condemned because of Nollywood.
He claimed that the goal of the Nigerian film industry is to foster creativity.
The renowned actor also said that the film industry is not a place for newcomers, but rather a place for developing talents in an interview with Afia TV.
Everyone is welcome to work in the film industry, he did add, but they must first determine whether they are “called for acting.”
“Nollywood should not be a ground for BBL; bum bum enlargement,” Kanayo declared. People running for office should not be allowed in Nollywood. Money from tourists should not be stolen in hotels on the grounds of Nollywood. These Nollywood actresses are not a justification for homosexuality or lesbianism.
It serves as a creative outlet. The Nollywood industry is not a place to study acting. Many people visit Nollywood to pick up acting skills. You should enter the field in order to develop and perfect your talent. After learning that Genevieve [Nnaji] is a millionaire and Omatola [Akande] is a billionaire, many girls would borrow wigs and enter the film industry while pretending to be someone else.
“Each of us has a different sector. Everyone is welcome, but you should first determine whether acting is your calling. You are not an actress just because your neighbor claims you can act. To enter Nollywood, you must have some schooling.
“Whether you studied medicine and want to be an actor doesn’t really matter. But for the love of God, don’t come here because you are having trouble; your business stopped expanding. Because the majority of individuals start acting after their businesses fail. No na. You need to have worked for seven years before you can call yourself a doctor. For six years, I worked to become a lawyer. So why do you suppose you would just show up and declare your desire to act?
“You know what occurs these days? Whether you’re alright or not, if you’re a girl. Because they want to use your Jeep [SUV] endlessly in that movie and another movie, they [filmmakers] will want you to become an actor. You will be assigned one role to play.People brag about the sector because some people want to sell sex, sell their bodies, do this, and other things. Additionally, it’s not good for the sector. Everyone is welcome, though. However, Instagram Stars are the ones tarnishing the industry’s reputation. And I don’t want anyone to join them because they only have a short shelf life
