“No Actress Bought A G-Wagon From Acting Money” – Yemi Solade
Veteran Nollywood actor Yemi Solade has sparked heated reactions online after boldly claiming that no Nigerian actress has ever purchased a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon solely from acting income. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a recent interview, Solade argued that the Nigerian film industry does not pay actors and actresses enough to afford such high-end luxury vehicles. According to him, any actress driving a G-Wagon must have additional sources of income outside of acting.
Yemi Solade’s Statement
In his words:
“No actress can say she bought her G-Wagon from the money made from acting. How much do they even earn? Acting alone cannot fund such a purchase unless they are doing something else on the side.”
Social Media Reactions
His remarks triggered diverse reactions from fans and movie lovers:
@klintzeal_mix: “Probably they invested the little money they were earning.”
@orobo4sure: “Wahala! How are they making their money then?”
@TkakaBariga: “I know a few of them that can easily boast of buying G-Wagon from acting—Funke Akindele and others in her league.”
@PabloVenz0: “Everybody mentioning Funke Akindele lol. The man said money from acting, not producing. Besides, Funke has plenty of other investments.”
@SarahAkinyemi7: “Wumi Toriola can even say she bought herself a private jet from acting because she dey act wonders.”
The debate continues as Nigerians question whether Nollywood truly generates the kind of wealth that supports such flamboyant lifestyles.
