The Sex-for-roles discussion is one that has lingered on in the industry for many years.

In January 2022, veteran Actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo rubbished the claim as he gave a contrary opinion that some Actresses do not put in the hardwork and act out their script well.

Sharing a picture of a movie set on his page, the veteran said, “When you hear of s#x for roles in Nollywood, please do not believe all you are told. Many of the girls are not working hard to live up to the roles they are cast for. Quite a shame.”
