Moji Afolayan alleges blacklisting by movie marketers
Veteran Nollywood actress Moji Afolayan today publicly claimed she has been blacklisted by movie marketers after resisting their sexual advances. In a candid interview on Oyinmomo TV, she detailed an incident where she was pressured into compromising her morals only to lose work opportunities when she refused .
Afolayan explained the trend starts subtly—an offer of better roles in exchange for “favours”—before demands escalate. “I said no. Soon after, projects dried up, and my calls went unanswered,” she revealed in an emotional account.
The backlash reached casting agents and marketers, resulting in her exclusion from several upcoming projects. She expressed disappointment in an industry she helped shape, calling for systemic change and legal protection for actors.
Nollywood stakeholders responded with calls for accountability. The Actors Guild pledged to investigate the claims and possibly sanction offending figures, marking a pivotal moment in industry ethics.
