Banned Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau’s visit to Hollywood seems to be glowing with her recent visit to Hollywood Relativity Workshop Studio in Los Angeles.

She posted a video on her instagram page of herself talking with the students at the campus studio earlier today.

The Hollywood studio posted a picture of Rahama on their instagram page with this caption:

“Today, Rahama Sadau visited out campus today. She is often referred to as “Queen of Kannywood”, the Hausa language cinema of Nigeria. She won Best African Actress at the 19th African Film Awards in 2015.A few months ago Rahama shot a music video in Kannywood – Northern Nigeria’s entertainment industry. In this video she hugged a man who was not her husband for 3 secs. Uproar ensued and subsequently Rahama is no longer permitted to perform in Kannywood. After this event singer/rapper Akon invited her over to Los Angeles – she’s been on-set with him for the last week. It was an honor to have her here!”

It could be recalled that the Kannywood Queen was invited by music icon, Akon, weeks after her expulsion from Kannywood.

A famous Nigerian actress, Rahama Sadau, has been expelled by the Hausa indigenous film industry known as Kannywood, after she featured in a music video which they say was “immoral”.

The Kannywood star appeared in the video with popular singer, Classiq, in a song titled I Love You.

In the film you can see her being hugged by Classiq.

The statement from the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (Moppan) says that Ms Sadau was “hugging and cuddling the music artist” in clear violation of code of the conduct “known to all practitioners”.

It goes on to say that the body would not tolerate behaviour that goes against the conduct and ethics governing the industry.

The statement also says that they hope the expulsion would serve as a “deterrent for other actors and actresses” and urged them to be ambassadors of the society they represent.

The federal government has cancelled its plan to build a massive film village in Kano state.

 

According to BBC, the government shelved the plan as a result of social media outcry and opposition from Muslim clerics. More than N3bn was reportedly budgeted for the project as part of the government’s efforts to improve the Hausa language film industry known as Kannywood.

 

The government argued the village would create thousands of job opportunities and promote cultural activities.But Muslim clerics argued it would promote immorality and people on social media also called on the government to stop the plan.

 

An aide to President Muhammadu Buhari said the president listened to the people’s concerns.
