Ruth Kadiri, a renowned Nigerian actress and filmmaker, has given a severe warning to fellow industry insiders who buy YouTube views, telling them not to contact her artists for movie roles.
The filmmaker, known for her prolific YouTube video production and distribution, issued the severe warning via her Instagram story on Friday night, adding that they should either organically expand their channel or groom their own artists.
She wrote: “IF YOU KNOW YOU’RE ONE OF THOSE BUYING VIEWS ON YOUTUBE! STOP CALLING MY ARTIST!
“I WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU, DESTROY!” ONCE THEY APPEAR ON YOUR CHANNEL, THEIR RPMS BECOMES MESSED UP! I will not warn you again! IF YOU CANNOT GROW ORGANICALLY, GROOM YOUR OWN CASTS. THANKS.”
This comes after gossip vlogger Tosin Silverdam created great attention among internet users by claiming that actresses Ruth Kadiri and Omoni Oboli are feuding.
Ruth Kadiri is the President of Ruth Kadiri 247. She is a leading maker of movies steam on YouTube.
Eronini Osinachim, Chidi Dyke, Genevieve Edwin, Annabel Apara, Vivian Gabriel, and Scott Roberts are among the actors she has groomed over the years.
According to Silverdam, the purported enmity between Kadiri and Oboli derives from the success of their respective YouTube movies, as well as an incident in which one recruited a young actor from the other’s film.
Silverdam further said that Ruth Kadiri was upset when one of her young actors worked with Omoni Oboli, forcing her to behave decisively.
He said that Kadiri barred the actor on social media platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp, and even kicked him out of their group conversation.
