Veteran Nollywood actor Yemi Solade has stirred conversations online after declaring that no Nigerian actress could afford a luxury Mercedes G-Wagon SUV solely from acting income.

In a recent interview, Solade argued that the film industry does not generate enough money to support such high-end purchases. According to him, acting alone cannot provide the level of wealth required, suggesting that actresses who own such vehicles must have additional sources of income.

“No actress can say she bought her G-Wagon from the money made from acting, because how much do they earn?” he said.

The statement quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions:

  • @klintzeal_mix: “Probably they invested the little money they were earning.”

  • @orobo4sure: “Wahalla, how are they making their money then?”

  • @TkakaBariga: “I know a few of them that can easily boast of buying a G-Wagon from acting, Funke Akindele and co can.”

  • @PabloVenz0: “Everybody mentioning Funke Akindele lol. The man said make money from acting, not producing. Besides, Funke has plenty investments.”

  • @SarahAkinyemi7: “Wumi Toriola can say she bought herself a private jet from acting ‘cause she dey act wonders.”
