“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.

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.”
