"As a producer, I think you wanted to use him, and he used u first 😮 because what he bought from u has no connection with the movie u wanted to produce. You should have collected money for your clothes and shoes that he picked, and then you would have asked him for his artist fee, negotiate and pay him, give him script and tell him date of shoot and location. Normalise separating business and familiarity. Always pay people no matter how close they are to u... even if u can't pay them what they charge, ask them to help u reduce the fee, but paying is important. I come in peace 🥂✌🏻."

Kanayo ignites debate about polygamy
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo sparked fiery reactions with his opinion about polygamy and African culture.
Kanayo, who in the past argued that monogamy was an imported culture destroying the rich cultural fibre of Africans, reshared a clip from his 2025 chat with Isbea U on the Curiosity Made Me Ask podcast.
The actor claimed that many men have one wife not as a result of their preferences, but because of the public opinions of their religious leaders, like pastors and Reverend Fathers.
