TNS can confirm that Funke Akindele and Juliana Olayode, who plays Toyo Baby on Jenifa’s Diary, have parted ways.
According to
TNS, Funke Akindele removed Toyo Baby from the series over what the latter termed ‘bad pay’.
A source revealed that Toyo Baby was cut off from the widely watched
TV series for requesting an increment in pay which didn’t go well with
Funke Akindele who feels she’s an ingrate being that Olayode rose to
stardom through her appearance on the widely-watched show.
Sources close to SceneOneProductions, producers of Jenifa’s Diary,
further revealed to TNS that the producer of the show, Funke Akinkele
via her production manager and younger sister – Abimbola – pays actors
between N3,000 and N150,000 (per episode/season of the show) depending
on the role.
An actress who spoke to TNS under the condition of anonymity via text
message narrated how she was paid what she termed ‘peanuts’ by
Akindele’s team after being part of an all-night party scene on Jenifa’s
Diary.
I got a text message from Sceneone Productions that I had been
selected to act on Jenifa’s Diary and I will be part of a party scene. I
was so excited that I told my entire family about it. Mind you, it
wasn’t my 1st time acting but d feeling of being on Jenifa’s diary was a
big deal for me. I was asked to come with 5 different party costumes.
Location was Amen Estate, Eleko.
After filming with over 30 girls the whole night, Funke came to
address us and advice that money shouldn’t be our priorities at this
stage; that was when it occurred to me that something awkward was about
to happen….just then, the Production Manager, Mr Osmond whispered
something to Funke’s sister, Abimbola & she started paying us each
3K. Can u imagine?, 3K for all night shoot!…on Jenifa’S DIARY!… I was so
mad, some of us had to turn down the money shaa….couldn’t face my mom
to explain to her wat happened the next morning.
According to our findings, actors Lota Chukwu, Omotunde Lolo 1, Falz D
Bahd Guy (who has also left the show) and Olayode are the highest paid
actors who take home 150k per season.The rest take home much lesser
money.
Stars like Tiwa Savage, Toke Makinwa and others who have had cameo
appearances on the show reportedly got between 100k and 300k for
‘showing face’.
You will also note that Juliana was absent at events and parties that held at Funke’s house in Lekki.
Funke and Juliana have also unfollowed each other on their social media accounts.
