Kanayo O. Kanayo Urges Nollywood Producers to Boycott Angel Unigwe Over Contract Dispute
Veteran Nollywood actor and producer, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has publicly criticized teen actress Angel Unigwe and her mother for allegedly breaching a filming contract.Kanayo claims that Unigwe's mother withdrew her daughter from a film project before the agreed contract period ended, which has caused significant disruption.Expressing his frustration, Kanayo called on fellow Nollywood producers to boycott the young actress. In a video posted on his Instagram account, he threatened to disrupt any film productions involving Unigwe as a response to the contract violation.Kanayo stated, "A certain woman has been holding producers to ransom. This is unfortunate and has personally affected me. The woman in question is Angel Unigwe's mother. Regardless of whether a contract is written or verbal, once she receives payment, her behavior changes. I've received complaints from others before it happened to me."He further explained, "Last night, she took her daughter from the set at 9 pm, even though the agreed day hadn't ended until midnight. This is a call to all producers: from June 21, 2024, I will ensure that any set employing Angel Unigwe will face disruption. You all know the impact of an actor walking out on a set without cause. We had a good working relationship with Angel, but her mother has been causing issues for many producers. I will now monitor every filming schedule and disrupt any set where I find Angel Unigwe."Kanayo's strong stance highlights the importance of honoring contractual agreements in the film industry and his commitment to upholding professional standards.
