Nollywood Actress and entrepreneur, Usman Maryann Irhoube, expressed dissatisfaction at remarks of those who see Nollywood actresses living luxurious lifestyle as prostitutes.
According to Irhoube, the CEO of Marvic Empire, some Nollywood actresses are legitimately rich and can afford to live big.
According to a recent interview with Saturday Sun: “Recently, I saw comments of people on social media profiling actresses who bought themselves cars and displayed them. Usually, things like these rarely get to me but I couldn’t help but address it.
“People need to understand that these actresses, aside from what they are known for, engage in other side businesses that fetch them more money. This is what I know, particularly in my line of business. I have a lot of actresses as friends who are hair vendors; some trade on their own while others trade with third parties. Society needs to stop profiling actresses as prostitutes or people who amassed wealth through suspicious means. Instead, they should be encouraged.”
