Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has shared her thoughts amid the growing trend in the film industry where filmmakers are expected to dance to promote their movies.

She said: “I’m sorry, I would not be doing the dancing. I’m very, very sorry. It’s just not me. I dance. I love to dance, I’m sure a lot of us love to dance.”

“I think the problem and the reason why a lot of people are kicking back at it is because you want to dance because you feel like it, not because you have to.”

“There’s a difference, okay? So there’s nothing wrong with, oh, you know, you’re promoting a movie and you guys are just having fun. That’s different.”

“But when it becomes a chore, when it becomes, oh, this is what you have to do to even sell a movie, it’s not professional. I already did the project, You know, I should go around, you know, talk about the project, promote the project, and then let the people whose job are to distribute and do the advertising of the project to do that.”
