Nollywood star, Yomi Fash-Lanso has asked the general public to stop referring to him as an actor, because he’s an entrepreneur.
The 55-year-old thespian Yomi playfully discouraged Nigerians from labeling him a legend and stated that he is still on the ascent rather than at the pinnacle of his career.
Yomi humbly acknowledged the esteemed status of his senior colleagues such as Jide Kosoko, Antar Laniyan, Oga Bello, Baba Wande and RMD.
He affirmed that the abovementioned actors, whose careers span decades and have earned multiple awards, are all rightfully deserve the title of Nollywood legends.
“I’m not a Nollywood actor, I’m a Nigerian actor, not a celebrity, I’m not a legend, I’m just coming up. I’m also an entrepreneur, I sell wristwatches, men clothings and all. I dabbled into a lot of things before coming into the film industry per say,” he said.
