Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has revealed that he was contacted and paid N4.8 million to pull a stunt on the public to promote his colleague Jim Iyke’s movie: “Bad Comments.”
He revealed this after Iyke during an interview with Chude Jideonwo admitted that he paid for the beating last year.
In the video, which went viral in August 2021, Iyke was seen beating Maduagwu for questioning the source of his wealth.
Revealing the amount he was paid, Maduagwu took to his Instagram page on Wednesday to brag, as he called himself the biggest brand influencer.
He wrote: “He paid me N3.6 million to promote Bad Comments movie and added N1.2 million after it went viral. I’m not just the most talked-about movie star in Africa. I’m the biggest brand influencer.
“Jim Iyke is like a big brother to me.
“He saw potentials in me.
“Today, Bad Comments movie became the biggest cinema film in 2021 because he saw my brand influencing power and worked with me.
“Mr. Moses is a great director too. I influence brands to success because I am the most talked-about movie star for Africa.”
