Nollywood actor Kanayo Kanayo has taken his destiny into his hands with the launch of his YouTube channel.

On his Instagram page, he said he has decided to tell a good story and doesn’t need a fine face to push his movies. The veteran stated that movie-making isn’t about being a fine face but being a good actor and performer.

Kanayo revealed that what happened years ago, where some sponsors killed the career of talented actors they believed couldn’t sell films, is beginning to rear its ugly head. He noted how the acclaimed YouTube faces are beginning to bring up the same thing, thereby killing talent in the industry.

“I have decided to take my destiny into my own hands as it pertains to my channel on YouTube. I have decided to tell a good story. It doesn’t have to be with a fine face. Movie-making is not about being a fine face. It’s about being a good actor, a good performer. If you don’t like it, that’s unfortunate.

What happened years ago, when some sponsors killed the careers of talented actors whom they believed could not sell films, is beginning to rear its ugly head. The acclaimed YouTube faces are beginning to bring up the same thing: killing the talent in the industry. Some of these guys will tell you they are not free from September 2025 till August 2026. How do we sustain the content of what you watch? How then do we create magic? How do we create stories or encourage new actors to come into the business if it’s only the self-acclaimed faces on YouTube? It’s not good for the industry.

If you are a new face, let’s create magic on the Kanayo O Kanayo TV on YouTube.”

Last year, Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo Kanayo had called out Nollywood filmmakers who run to the steaming giant platform YouTube for ruining the foundation of the movie industry by creating low-quality content.

In an interview, the veteran had blown hot over the state of things in the industry. He stated that Nollywood shouldn’t be a ground for BBL, sex workers, Instagram stars, and homosexuality. The veteran further called out social media influencers, who are now taking over Nollywood, for being the biggest cause of disrespect in the industry.

Not done lamenting the industry, Kanayo, in another interview, slammed Nigerian ladies who are desperate to enter Nollywood without skills. He told them they should sell crayfish if acting isn’t in them.
