Music star, Oladapo Oyebanji, popularly known as D’banj on Wednesday said that a platform for Nigerian talented actors to showcase their scripts for sponsorship would be launched May 1.

He disclosed this during the 2018 Nigerian Entertainment Conference with the theme “Understanding Emerging Markets, Trends and Opportunities” in Lagos.

Dbanj who established similar platform showcasing talented musicians called Creative, Reality, Entertainment, Arts and Music (CREAM) in 2016, said that the platform would afford actors opportunities to showcase their scripts.

CREAM, a platform which provides upcoming artistes with the opportunity to have their songs recorded and videos shot, was launched in 2016.

In July 2017, about a year after CREAM was launched, D’banj said it was valued at $100m.

The Kokomaster said a random selection would be done monthly and CREAM would be responsible for the funding to ensure the most interesting scripts are selected for production.

He said,

“The first set of beneficiaries on the platform was Rayce, TK Swag, MKJ, Leke Benson, Legend Courage and recently Real Self,” he said.

“We have been doing this for the music industry since 2016, we want to rub off on the potential actors and actresses too because we realise there are talents too in that field who needs assistance.

“Every month beginning from May, we will be picking 10 scripts we believe will interest the viewers and they will all be shot and produced.

“We have 3.5 million subscribers already on CREAM platform and we expect more talented Nigerians to upload their scripts and music for possible assistance.

“Legbegbe“ which is one of the most played songs in clubs, radio stations and parties was a product of CREAM, this was done by Real self, featured Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks.”
