“Stop this rubbush” – Jaiye Kuti blasts Yoruba actors coming online to beg (Video)
Ace Nollywood actress Jaiye Kuti has sparked a significant outburst online after a clip of her chastising her colleagues and other movie stars for what she described as the new trend of coming online to beg the public for money. Jaiye blasted her colleagues, noting that their recent behaviour has brought shame and disgrace to the Yoruba faction of the Nigerian movie industry.
The actress also noted that many of her colleagues who have turned Instagram into a beggars app mostly have themselves to blame for their predicaments as she disclosed that they didn’t prepare for their old age. She said some of those begging for money and financial support now were nonchalant and wasteful during their youthful days as actors.
Jaiye compared the movie industry with other professions and noted that some of these people only needed to set up pension funds to survive the pitfalls of old age, but many didn’t.
The video generated mixed reviews online as many supported the actress for speaking the truth while others condemned her for speaking such about her senior colleagues.

Ire Pictures wrote, “I’m a theatre practitioner and I can tell you for a fact that Aunty Jaye spoke the bitter truth… No association is responsible for your well-being.”
glint beauty wrote, “She actually made a lot of sense! Everyone you are looking up to also has responsibilities, and Everyman should be for himself.”
Some of those old actors lived a reckless life, they were not good to their families even their fans.
Some of them turned themselves to mini gods when they were in their prime while some were actually victims of circumstances.
Well , i hope they all find favour as they make their requests,” Elle banky wrote
@everythingfurniture.ng: “In as much as I don’t support the begging but pls let whosever needs help speak up,
Remember these old men and women are not sociable, some of dem don’t even have IG accounts, they started acting when the pay was peanuts,
they are not doing influencing jobs like u people, they are not an ambassador to revolution plus or trophy larger beer, the only thing giving dem money is this theater job.”
