Veteran Nollywood actor Yemi Solade has stirred up conversation after making a bold claim on the Honest Bunch podcast: he believes that no Nigerian actress has ever purchased a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon using income from acting alone.
Solade clarified that his point refers specifically to earnings from acting, not from producing, endorsement deals or other side businesses. According to him, the pay from acting feels insufficient to cover the cost of such luxury vehicles—unless one has alternative sources of revenue.
Fans responded strongly. Some agreed with Solade, saying many actresses likely rely on side ventures or gifts to afford luxury lifestyles. Others pointed out exceptions, mentioning top actresses who, in their view, may indeed have the earnings or investments to purchase such cars from acting or related ventures
