Veteran Nollywood actor, Jide Kosoko, says some actresses sleep with producers to get roles that will make them famous.
Jide Kosoko made the revelation during his recent appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast.
Addressing the controversial sex for roles topic in Nollywood, Kosoko stated that he knows some popular actresses who deliberately joined the movie industry to leverage sexual relationships to become famous.
While dismissing the general idea that movie directors and producers always impose sex for roles, he argued that no one can be compelled into any form of sexual exchange.

He further explained that some women come into the industry with the plan to use such means to make a name for themselves.
“If I said I need you to warm my bed so that I can give you a role, and you said no, they cannot force you to do it. And if you want that role by all means, that means you want to dance to his tone.
“I’m not saying it’s right to introduce that to you, but if you fall for it, that’s your business. How does that concern the whole world? All this sex for roles thing, forget about it. I know some ladies that equally come into the industry with the determination that, by the time ‘I sleep with this and sleep with that, I will get my name.
” I know of some popular actresses. I know of even a Magistrate”.
Veteran Fuji musician Musibau Alani, stepfather to Afrobeats singer Asake, has debunked rumours that he snatched Asake’s mother from Malo Odunsi.
Musibau’s reaction followed the drama that ensued when Asake’s father, Odunsi, called the singer out for abandoning him after he fell ill.
Amid the drama, Asake’s mother, Fali, was accused of turning the singer against his father after she left him for another man.
Now, speaking in the aftermath of the Odunsi family drama, Musibau has spoken out to defend himself from the allegations spreading about him on the internet.
Refuting claims that he snatched Asake’s mother from his father, Musibau said he was not responsible for the duo’s separation, adding that Fali was no longer married to Malo when he met her.
