Actress and Big Brother Naija reality star Bamike Olawunmi also referred to as Bambam, has called the problem of “sex for roles” in the Nigerian movie industry a “scam.”
She claimed that after having sex with overly eager young actresses, filmmakers would frequently break their promises to provide them with essential roles.
In an interview for the most recent episode of the podcast Secrets Behind the Scenes, Bambam recounted how a producer had given her the keys to his hotel room in exchange for a cameo role.
She emphasized that “sex for roles” is not worth it and warned emerging actresses to avoid falling for it.
She said, “Sex for roles is a scam. It’s not worth it. Some of them [victims] what they are paying them at the end of that production is not more than N50,000, N100,000. Don’t be deceived o! It’s a lie. It [sex for role] is a scam.
“The one that I did waka pass that dem give me N5,000 and the guy [filmmaker] was giving me his hotel room key to hold. Ah! I don’t want to mention names.”
