Veteran Actor Jide Kosoko dismisses claims of s£x for roles in Nollywood

Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko has debunked claims surrounding sexual favors as major criteria for securing movie roles in the industry.

While speaking on an interview with the honest bunch, Kosoko stated that no actor is forced into such situations, emphasizing that participation is often based on an individuals personal choice.

The actor alleged knowing some ladies who come into the industry with the mindset of making a name for themselves after involving in sexual activities with top individuals in the industry.

Jide however condemned the act, emphasising that such should not be proposed in the first place.

This was made known in a video on the honest bunch podcast Instagram page on Sunday, 23rd of March 2025.

Jide partly said:

“There is nothing like sex for roles in the movie industry. If I say I need you to come warm my bed before I can give you a particular movie role and you say you don’t want to, just go. They cannot force you to do that, if someone introduces something to you and you don’t want,say no .

” But if you want that role by all means,that means you want to dance to his tunes. I’m not saying it’s right to have introduced that to you, but if he says it one way or the other and you fall to it, that’s your business, how does that concern the whole world?

“All these sex for role things, forget about it, I know some ladies that equally come into the industry with the determination that by the time I sleep with this and sleep with that, I’ll get my name,I know of some popular actresses.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
