Popular Nollywood actor, Kanayo Kanayo, has taken charge of his destiny with the launch of his YouTube channel.
Kanayo posted on his Instagram page on September 8th disclosing that he doesn’t need a good story and a fine face to push his movies. He went on to say that movie making isn’t about being a fine face or looking good, but being a good actor and performer.
However, Kanayo revealed things that had happened years ago, where sponsors ended the career of talented actors they believed couldn’t sell films.
He acknowledged how the new faces on YouTube are beginning to bring up similar things, where talents will be killed in the industry.
Speaking further he said “I have decided to take my destiny into my own hands as it pertains to my channel on YouTube. I have decided to tell a good story. It doesn’t have to be with a fine face. Movie-making is not about being a fine face. It’s about being a good actor, a good performer. If you don’t like it, that’s unfortunate.
What happened years ago, when some sponsors killed the careers of talented actors whom they believed could not sell films, is beginning to rear its ugly head. The acclaimed YouTube faces are beginning to bring up the same thing: killing the talent in the industry. Some of these guys will tell you they are not free from September 2025 till August 2026. How do we sustain the content of what you watch? How then do we create magic? How do we create stories or encourage new actors to come into the business if it’s only the self-acclaimed faces on YouTube? It’s not good for the industry.
If you are a new face, let’s create magic on the Kanayo O Kanayo TV on YouTube.”
