Kanayo Exposes Male Actors’ ‘Unnatural Relationships’ In Industry
Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo gets candid on the rising number of ‘unnatural relationships’ between male actors while lamenting the desperation of talentless female newcomers.
The veteran actor on Nedu Wazobia’s popular podcast ‘The Honest Bunch’ revealed some hidden aspects of Nollywood, exposing covert tactics that have hindered the industry’s growth.
