Instagram sensation, Adebayo Ridwan popularly known as Isbae U currently making waves in the entertainment industry with his comic skits has been called out for allegedly demanding sex for roles.

In the screenshots shared on social media, the internet sensation was seen allegedly asking a lady seeking a role in one of his comic skits to come spend the night with him.

He, then later declined to offer the yet-to-be-identified lady the role.

Naija News understands that the term ‘sex for roles’ connotes a situation where an enterprising young act would be asked to engage in a sexual relationship with a higher colleague before being given a role in a movie.

The actor is yet to respond to the allegations.

Here are some screenshots of the chat making rounds on the social media space.

 

Naija News recalls that veteran actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo recently urged the public to disregard the sex for role claims in Nollywood.

Speaking on the issue in his Instagram page on Wednesday, Kanayo asked the public not to believe what they were being told concerning the issue of sex for roles.

According to the actor, many up-and-coming actresses do not work hard and professionally to act out their script as expected; a situation he described as shameful.

Sharing a picture of a movie set on his page, the veteran said, “When you hear of sex for roles in Nollywood, please do not believe all you are told. Many of the girls are not working hard to live up to the roles they are cast for. Quite a shame.”
