Yemi Solade recently spoke on the Honest Bunch podcast where he shared his honest views about the Nigerian film industry.
In the conversation, he said that no Nigerian actress can buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon purely from acting earnings. According to him, the money actresses make from acting is not enough to afford such an expensive luxury car.
He suggested that those who own G-Wagons probably have other sources of income or business ventures outside acting.
Yemi Solade is a veteran Nigerian actor with nearly five decades of experience in the industry. He started acting as a teenager and has studied dramatic arts formally.
Besides acting, he has also worked as a lecturer and played various roles in the entertainment world. He considers himself a hardworking professional rather than a celebrity.
Some Nigerian celebrities who do own G-Wagons include musicians like Davido and Wizkid, as well as actress Regina Daniels. Others like financial coach Gehgeh have also recently bought G-Wagons, sometimes sparking conversation on social media.
Yemi Solade’s statement sheds light on the financial realities in Nollywood and suggests that luxurious cars like G-Wagons are rarely bought solely with acting income in Nigeria. Instead, they reflect other successful business or endorsement earnings by these celebrities.
This perspective was shared recently during Yemi Solade’s candid interview on the Honest Bunch podcast.
