Veteran actor, Wale Olaseinde, has spoken about his relationship with popular producer, Wale Adenuga.
Akinseinde is the notorious Pa James in Adenuga’s ‘Papa Ajasco’ comedy.
According to him, he earns N45,000 per episode.
Against the controversy generated by actor Papa Ajasco, who claimed the role had not transformed his life, Pa James told online media personality Lucky Udu in an interview: “I still work with Wale Adenuga. He has been good to me. Working with him gave me popularity even more than when I was in Yoruba movies. On money aspect, he really tried for me. I bought my first car when I started working with him. Before, we used to work back to back but now, once we shoot some episodes, they might not call us again until two years.
“To work with him now, you must have a side hustle so that you can pay your bills. I can work in other movies but I must not bear Pa James because the name has been trademarked. When I first started working with Wale Adenuga, I was paid N2,500 per episode. Right now, it is N45,000 per episode and it’s about 10 episodes.”
