There were rumors that Funke Akindele and Juliana Olayode, who plays Toyo Baby on Jenifa’s Diary, have parted ways.
According to TNS, Funke Akindele cut off Toyo Baby from the widely watched TV series over what the latter termed ‘bad pay’.

A source disclosed that Olayode and Funke parted ways after the former requested from a pay rise from Funke who felt that she’s an ingrate considering the fact that Olayode rose to stardom through her appearance on the widely-watched show.

More 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.
According to her,

‘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.’

Findings suggest that 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.
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’.

Funke and Juliana have since unfollowed each other on their social media accounts.

na their matter... wen he dey sweet they we no know...

Acting doesn't pay that much, unless it's a lead role.

Sack went far, and I don't think she should be considered an ingrate, all she did was ask for a raise them for jus say I no go give you raise if she like she stay or leave.

Normally, Acting don't pay that much except lead roles. These actors and actress who became successful financially used their fame to expand or create businesses in addition to acting.

Acting to fame is just a platform, if I were Toyo baby I wouldn't ask for much considering who jenifa is when it comes to temper, I'd have used the riaing fame I've gotten already to start a business of my own or seek for partnership for self-dependency.

Personally, I have lots of entertainment ideas only wishing I had fame too like her, 'na once i for blow like like witch' I'm available for partnership

That's why brands still market themselves to stay relevant in market.

hmmmmm

money have been causing wahala since the last super of Jesus Christ...u can ask Judas iscariot

and then?

acting doesn't pay much in this country, many of them don't receive anything at all.do you see those girls that carry firewood and gossip in movies?that one na free o
our young actresses whether leads or extras don't depend on actor's fee they just wanna be known and from there they will hike their asking price not for acting but

Make she audition some Nairalanders.
