Anita and AfroCandy
Although the Actors Guild of Nigeria frowns at movie makers collecting screening fees from wannabe actors during auditions. It was gathered that actress Anita Joseph and Afro Candy charged some young people N7, 000 to be auditioned in their up and coming movie.
But when an Online Entertainment Platform contacted Anita, she quickly distanced herself from the incident claiming that the project was for Afro Candy and she only helped with casting. She told Saturday Beats that she got to the venue late and even saw some people leaving.
“I was not the one that called for auditioning. It is not my business, it is Afro Candy’s job and I do not know if any money was collected. I just helped in with the casting. I do not know anything about that and I do not know why they would mention my name. When I got there, people were already leaving so I don’t know why they would mention my name. Why would people be talking such rubbish? When I came, people were already leaving so what is my business with that,” she said.
However, when the Online Entertainment Platform contacted Afro candy who is based in the US on the phone, she rudely said the N7,000 she collected was ‘membership fee’.
“They have to be a part of my company before they can feature in my movie. Other people in the industry do it and they even charge as high as N10,000 or more. Most times, they don’t even bother to feature these people. People knew what I was coming for because I advertised it on the poster. You should go and do your f**king research before calling me,” she rudely fired back before cutting off the line.
