Some social media commentators argued that 50 Cent would fail to feature a Nigerian in the lead role while others assume the renowned rapper would probably feature an international actor who would have to coerce an ‘African accent’.

Reacting to 50’s declaration, Jumbo commented that a Nigerian movie star should be accorded the chance to play lead character in his anticipated movie.

She said: “Please give a Nigerian actor the opportunity to play this character.”
