Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has expressed his concern about why being broke as a man is dangerous.

Deyemi’s concern comes from a place of pain after he clapped back at a troll who questioned why he aggressively promotes his movies.

On his Instagram page, the actor stated that the troll got on his nerves with his question about his style of movie promotion. He also disclosed that the troll tagged his behaviour as that of a rookie in the movie industry despite his career achievements.

Replying the roll, he said the motivation behind his marketing approach is ‘brokenness’. He also noted that he blocked the troll because the questionasked reminded himof his responsibilities as a man.

He wrote

“Someone said ‘Deyemi you be senior man na, why you dey promote your film like say you be rookie’… for a brief second all the many ppl who depend on me flashed through my mind, I smiled and blocked the id*ot!”

Captioning his post, he wrote

“Being broke as a man is very degrading and frustrating. To every man who’s putting in the work to change his financial status for the better, I hope you win soon bro, I hope things get better for you real soon.”
