Only female actors are buying cars and houses in Nollywood – Ruggedman

Veteran Nigerian rapper Ruggedman has taken to Twitter to share his observation about success and wealth distribution in the Nollywood industry.

The Abia State-born musician seeks to understand why it is only female actors in Nollywood that are buying cars and building houses while the male actors are left behind.

Ruggedman whose real name is Michael Ugochukwu Stephens disclosed he earlier wanted to join the Nollywood industry but got discouraged by the fact that the industry doesn’t favour males.

The music star wrote on his Twitter page:

“My male actors in Nollywood what’s going on? It’s just the females that are buying cars and building houses left and right. I wanted to come into Nollywood but at this rate, I am not coming again.”
