Yoruba actor Akinola Akano, popularly known as Segbowe, has called out several celebrities for refusing to support upcoming actors, even after featuring them in their movies.
He expressed his concerns, urging well-known celebrities to assist those coming after them. Akano emphasized that he is also an upcoming actor and understands the struggles they face.
Support Male ‘Upcoming’ too.
This is not a war against our beautiful female folks. Much love to them.
This is just a plea for these guys. Dem dey suffr in silence. Look on their side and help. They don’t have to pay or buy you anything to get those roles. It is enough that you don’t pay them (U tag them upcoming). Also, post for that ‘upcoming’ guy who struggled to produce n feature u. Yes, there are bd eggs but if we shut our eyes make b*d people pass, we go miss out on the good folks.
Matter long but make I stop here for now.
Shout out to every genuinely hardworking male ‘Upcoming’ running a lonely race. I share in your
pains. Bn there, still here. Let’s keep pushing. U’ll be fine
Many netizens react to his words as to why many popular celebrities dont help the upcoming once.
