Nollywood Actress, Jaiye kuti has frowned at the trends of Veterans actors and actresses crying for help on social media.
Recently, many entertainers have been going online, especially veterans, to beg for financial assistance so as to take care of their health, family and other responsibilities.
Yoruba movie Veterans like Iya Gbonkan, Pariolodo, Lalude, Baba Alapini, amongst others have pleaded with their fans to help them with homes and cars.
And luckily for them, their fans have come to their aid, with some buying them houses and cars; while others doled out cash gifts.
With this, Jaiye Kuti, on a live video, strongly criticized her colleagues who resort to soliciting money from fans on social media platforms.
She made it known that they are tarnishing the reputation of their fellow actors in the industry.
She stressed that many of them recklessly wasted their earnings on unimportant and trivial things during their younger days. Consequently, these financial choices are now impacting them adversely in their later years.
“All the yoruba actors coming on Instagram to beg should stop giving us bad names. This job doesn’t have pension so when you are young and active, you need to prepare for the future.
“This job is a success for me because I earn big and I am already preparing for my future. You can’t make it compulsory for your colleague to give you money when you are sick.
“What is the business of TAMPAN with an actor that is sick? Someone has to speak up. When your colleagues were training their children, what were you doing with your money?”, she said.
