Yemi Solade, a Nollywood actor, expressed sadness after the organisers of an award event revoked his award due to his refusal to pay for the plaque. The legendary actor detailed the incident on Instagram, posting images of his chat with a representative from the organisers.
In his post, Solade criticised the practice, adding that he does not fall into the type of actors who "buy" prizes. The leaked communication from the organisers stated: "Good morning, sir. I hope you had a good night rest." I sent your sponsorship response to management. However, I believe it bothers them because they have also publicised the cost of the plaques. As a result, while you are welcome to attend, the prize plaque may not be presented due to economic constraints. Thank you for your understanding, sir. Solade captioned the image, "I refused to pay for the AWARD PLAQUE." "This is the outcome."
