-
Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic, has responded to an X user, who shamed her over a movie role considered beneath her status in the film industry.
Naija News reports that the X user while reacting to Rita’s feature in the Lekki Wives reality show, claimed that there are specific projects that the thespian should outgrow.

The post read, “There are certain projects your brand should outgrow, because why is Rita Dominic in lekki wives or whatever it is called! Common.”

In response, Rita Dominic noted that only people without artistic integrity speak in such a manner and urged her colleagues never to listen to them.


According to the movie star, Nollywood stars should not limit themselves and always embrace any platform where they can release their creative energy.

She wrote, “Dear Actors, only people who have no single drop of artistic integrity speak like this. If you listen to them you will soon begin to believe you are more important than the industry that birth you. You are an ACTOR so make sure to find a way or platform to release the creative energy in you. Continue to hone your skills regardless of empty comments like this cos knowledge is never ending – yours truly, Rita.”
