Yemi Solade Rejects “Pay-for-Award” Culture
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Nigerian actor Yemi Solade has sent the entertainment industry into a buzz after publicly rejecting an award over what he described as an attempt at extortion. Solade revealed that organizers of the award event withdrew his recognition because he refused to pay for the plaque.

In a rare act of bravado, Solade went ahead to publish the correspondence between himself and the organizers of the event, blowing the lid off the “pay-for-award” culture that has silently beset the industry for years. These practices may not be new, but the fact that he chose to stand against it shows the continued struggle for credibility in Nigeria’s entertainment sector.

This sets up the important questions: Do awards still serve as symbols of merit and achievement, or have they become transactional tokens? Solade’s public stance challenges not only event organizers but fellow actors and creatives to rethink the value of genuine recognition.
