David Adeleke, better known as Davido, a Nigerian afro-beat singer, has come under criticism after an old post against female Nollywood stars emerged online.
Davido claimed in a 2011 tweet on the microblogging network Twitter that Nollywood is just a method for female celebrities to advertise their bodies to wealthy guys.
Female Nollywood stars, according to Davido, make more money from having sex than from acting in movies.
