Popular M-Net-produced series Tinsel has suffered a setback as one of
her main actors Chris Attoh who plays ‘Kwame Mensah’ suddenly announced
he is leaving the series to pursue other career interests.
Chris
dropped the bombshell via a statement through a South Africa based
management, Waka Talent.
The last seven years on Tinsel have been an
incredible journey and experience for me. Working with M-Net was
phenomenal and it took a lot of deliberation but I have decided to
pursue other career interests‘, he said.
Chris leaves almost a
year after another strong face on the show Damilola Adegbite who played
‘Telema Duke’ announced she too was leaving to pursue other career
interests.
Meanwhile,
another popular face at Tinsel Gbenro Ajibade has been reportedly
suspended from the show. Information made available point that Ajibade
may have been suspended because he failed to show up for long sequence
of shoots involving his character ‘Soji Bankole.’
If this
suspension is true then Gbenro may be facing disciplinary action for
being away from set after traveling to the US for the just concluded one
week long Africa Fashion show held in New York where he pranced the
runway as a model.
There are already concerns the loss of these
two actors plus other popular faces that has left the series may further
affect ratings.
Efforts to reach Gbenro and other parties involved for reactions has so far not been successful.
