<p>Former Big Brother Naija housemate and actress Beverly Osu has weighed in on the conversation sparked by Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, following the latter’s comparison of her earnings from Hollywood and Nollywood.</p>
<p>Omotola recently revealed that despite working in Hollywood for only four years and completing just two test projects, she still receives monthly residual payments. In stark contrast, she lamented that after three decades in Nollywood and over 310 projects, she receives no royalties or residuals for her work.</p>
<p>To validate her claim, Omotola posted two SAG-AFTRA payslips evidence of her recurring earnings from Hollywood highlighting the disparity in compensation structures between the two industries.</p>
<p>While some Nigerians applauded her honesty and transparency, others accused her of making unfair comparisons between a developed and a developing country.</p>

<p>Beverly Osu, however, stood firmly in support of Omotola, insisting that the veteran’s post wasn’t meant to compare nations, but rather to spotlight how artists should be respected and properly compensated.</p>
<p><em>“What Omotola posted is not about comparison of nations. It’s about the basic dignity of the artist.</em></p>
<p>She criticized the tendency to shut down conversations about fairness with the excuse of the “first world vs third world” narrative.</p>
<p><em>“Art is art. Work is work. Labor is labor. Residuals are a right, not a luxury.<br />Saying ‘don’t compare 1st world to 3rd world’ is a lazy argument that keeps us trapped,” </em>she added.</p>
<p>Beverly concluded by emphasizing that regardless of the country be it Nigeria or the United States actors deserve long-term compensation for their creative contributions, especially through royalties and residuals.</p>
<p>Her remarks have resonated with many creatives who feel that the Nigerian entertainment industry needs better structure, fairer compensation, and deeper respect for artistic labor.</p>
