Kanayo O. Kanayo warns movie producers against engaging Angel Unigwe’s services over mother’s behaviour
Veteran Nigerian actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo has warned Nollywood movie producers to stop engaging the services of fast-rising actress, Angel Unigwe.
Giving his reasons for the callout, the actor, who is well respected in the industry tied it to the behaviour of the mother of the young actress.
In a now-viral video he posted on his Instagram page, the veteran claimed to have been informed of situations where the actress’ mother held producers to ransom, but he didn’t believe it until he suffered the same fate.
Kanayo, in a message directed at movie producers in the industry, lamented that Angel’s mother refused to stick to an agreement they had over one of his upcoming movies. He threatened to disrupt any movie set he finds her.
“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,” the angry veteran warned.
