“Most friendships in the entertainment industry are formed because y’all have a common enemy.
Not because of love”.
While mourning the death of her actor uncle, Fabian Adibe, BBNaija Uriel Oputa said she was waiting for the fake love to start, as she couldn’t say much out of respect. However, his death is very personal to her, and she would boldly say that nobody checked on him.
Similarly, actress Ruth Eze cried out over the level of fakeness and fake love in Nollywood. In an Instagram post, she called on God to have mercy and questioned why people would celebrate someone they have criticized and are still criticizing. She pondered how they do it as she can’t fake a smile.
Yoruba actor, Kevin Ikeduba, Yoruba had blown hot at Nollywood, slamming the industry for its fake love. The talented actor noted how the industry is filled with fake people, pretending to be who they aren’t. Not mentioning any names, he stressed that the industry is filled with the most fake set of human beings and that they don’t know how to show love to each other.
Another Yoruba actor, Damola Olatunji, revealed that most attacks on celebrities are from the industry. According to him, most faceless trolls are their colleagues, who hide behind burner accounts to diminish others. He stated that he had always wondered why actors are obsessed with unhealthy competition and with bringing others down to elevate themselves.
Joining him, former singer, Cynthia Morgan had called out the music industry over its fake love and friendship. She stated that there is barely friendship in the industry as people only remember you when you’re trending or they need you to help them kill a beat. Cynthia recounted how during her crisis only two people showed up for her, while others especially those she had worked with shunned her.
To add to it, Nigerian rapper, Terry G called out his colleagues for shunning him. The music star expressed sadness over how all his efforts to reach out to them during his tough times proved abortive, as no one responded to him. He questioned if it was fair the way they were treating him as he told them to remember when they once came to help for help and he answered them.
Wumi Toriola made a similar statement as she threw shade at some of her colleagues for rubbishing her efforts. She revealed that someone called her a YouTube star, and her stubbornness made her take it with so much pride. Wumi noted how some of her colleagues are yet to conquer YouTube and are still floating in the box office world, yet would rubbish others with fake pages.
