Social Media Highlights

Catch the latest buzz and reactions on social media regarding Omotola's TIFF feature.

Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade has spoken out against the growing expectation that actors dance on social media as part of movie promotion, calling the trend unprofessional and misplaced.

Speaking during an interview on TVC Entertainment, Omotola made it clear that while she enjoys dancing, it should remain a personal choice — not a compulsory requirement tied to marketing a film.

According to the actress, the backlash against viral promotional stunts stems from the pressure placed on actors to perform online just to sell their projects.
