Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo Kanayo called out the mother of his younger colleague Angel Unigwe and issued a strong warning to film producers.
The movie producer accused the actress’s mother of acting unprofessionally in a video posted on his Instagram page, claiming that she had broken contracts and taken her daughter off the shoot early.
Producers have suffered financial losses and delays in film production as a result of this purported lack of professionalism.
Kanayo.O. Kanayo asserts that he has firsthand knowledge of this difficulty and has heard from other producers who have encountered such difficulties with Angel Unigwe’s mother.
He expressed his displeasure and vowed to take action, stating:
“I am making this video to protect the entertainment industry in Nigeria. A particular woman has been holding producers to ransoms and it is unfortunate it has happened to me. Unfortunately, she is Angel Unigwe’s mother.
A contract is breached by every producer, orally or written, and it’s all respected, but I found out that immediately this woman takes money from you, everything changes. She took her daughter at 9 pm when the particular date that we agreed hadn’t expired.
She came at 9 pm and took her daughter. I have gotten reports from people before it happened to me. This is a Clarion call to producers, I beg you in the name of professionalism, from this moment to the first day of July, 2024, any set that employs the services of Angel Unigwe, I will come to that set and make sure filming doesn’t hold. Her mother has been threatening many producers.”
