Genevieve kicked of Tulips Movie+Her Diva Tantrum...

Remember the movie Tulip that was meant to stare Genevieve alongside Hollywood actress Robin Givens and our very own Akofa Asiedu, well information reaching Ghanasentertainment by a reliable source had less than pleasing words for Genevieve.

The role the informer gathered was meant for Nollywood Chioma Chukwuka, who the American producer just loved, but Chioma found out she was preganant in march and offered Genevieve (the diva) the role.

Genevieve's pay for the role was a whopping $110,00 US dollars. Not long did Miss Genevieve Nnaji begin making obscene demands including a request to fly to the US with her assistant. Well the American producers complied with much anger from Ghana's finest actress Akofa.

Reports also indicates that Genevieve's demands got out of hand so much that she had to be fired. This apparently led to insults on the American producers by Genevieve.

For two months after she was booked she just wouldn't return or answer their calls, when they expressed concern, thats when Gevevieve took it upon herself to bash/insult them.

Production has now slowed due to the fact that they have to find another actress to replace Genevieve.

The informer said that some Nigerian directors have succeeded in convincing the American producers not to sue Genevieve and for the sake of the movie, they have also let go.

On a positive note, AKofa and the American producers are setting up a fund called the Turning Point Film Fund to finance and distribute African movies to the world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the rumour making the rounds,actress genevieve nnaji was reportedly fired from a movie set'Tulip'after being paid over a hundred thousand dollars to star in it.the rumour making the round indicate that the actress made herself unavailable to the producers and then was rude when she was eventually contacted thus leading to her bring'fired'from the set.this is the story being pedalled all over the internet.

The informer said that some Nigerian directors have succeeded in convincing the American producers not to sue Genevieve and for the sake of the movie, they have also let go. ''we(we here refers to encomium mag cos this will be out in the new week in the magazine) contacted genevieve to hear her own side of the story and this is her response to our questions.

1..what is this 'tulip'story being circulated. what actually happened?

we hear you made demands to take your P.A with you amongst other demands

……a Ghanian LADY called Leila Djansi living in America set up company and decideD to shoot a movie.she Approached me and I told her to send the script.she did and I liked the role.i told her I would be interested based on contract negotiations and rest of cast.she got back to me and i was Informed that i would be acting alongside Kimberly Elise and some up and coming Ghanaian actors. I made no demands whatsoever. I was told that a Ghanaian would be my P.A while shooting in some village in Ghana and I said no, I already had one and I would even be willing to pay her ticket to Ghana but I will not use a stranger. There was no trip to America mentioned until allegedly October so I could never have demanded to take my P.A along although I want to state that if I felt like it, I would have requested it. Afterall, when we bring foreign acts over here we allow them to come with nutritionist, P.A and whoever else they choose to bring. So, this is the first lie, "demands" were not the problem. I was asked to forward recent pictures for their promo campaign, measurement details and address to send contract to in Nigeria so I could read and give final approval. I did both those things. What did I get in return?Leila Djansi who is the so called producer of this movie,began stalking me with phone calls about how Ghanians are angry she hired a Nigerian actress. How people were telling her I am a snob and so on. Discussions were had and we concluded this is normal ,that there will always be haters and I am used to it, but I am professional so I was not interested in idle gossip, I wanted to see the contract and the final script because she said they were changing it around to enlarge a role for Van Vicker whom she said had called her to beg for a role in the movie even though she didnt think he could act.she said Ghanians were piling pressure on her to have a Ghanian star in the movie. ..

..2 were you fired from this movie or you left of your own free will?

i lost interest because she now seemed like the regular African in the Diaspora who wanted to shoot a movie and some of them even approach without a script and think just because they are based in the States, Nigerian acts should jump up and kiss ass.Leila started hounding me with calls. I was working on set one day and when I came off, I had 22 missed calls from her within an hour. I was tired of talking to someone who wanted to trade gossip and be my "friend" rather than talk about the movie or the contract which she still hadn't sent via post. I had been through this many times and even shot a movie with one of such unprofesional people who were unable to distinguish between business and pleasure and lack any atom of professionalism. I do not work like that and i didnt want that to repeat itself.

3..so what did you do?..
..I stopped taking her calls and insisted that we communicate via email until she had sent the final script. She also sent me an sms stating she was changing dates because she was finishing another production. I replied that they should inform me with enough time and forward all other informations to my email box and the contract through the address I had given her. This was not good enough for her. She insisted on speaking with me on the phone and when I refused,she lost it and things degenerated to where they are now.She then, sent an email claiming she needed convincing so she could convince her commitee. I told her that she had sent me an email stating categorically that I was being hired because and I quote, "Unlike other african actors, you are natural" so if she is not convinced because I had stopped taking her calls, she should find another actress. By this time, I had sensed that this was not a credible path for me to follow.

4..what happened next?what about the money you were paid?.
…This led to Leila insulting me, nollywood, nigeria, ghanawood and everyone and anyone.she told me How she is going to own 40% of Nollywood having been financed by a Nigerian bank,How she has witnesses she will roll out to show that Genevieve has a bad reputation, How she is severing the contract and all that but There was no contract. How can you terminate a contract that did not exist in the first place? She never paid me 1kobo let alone 1 dollar so where is the consideration that makes a contract?
She said derogatory things and I quote.."A bit of advice, nobody, in Hollywood gives a damn about your Nigerian or
Ghanaian film industry, you are the only people who glory in your inferior work. You really think someone here will sit through an hour and half of pure torture of the same freaky music playing over the movie and the screaming,and the tantrums? you really think I want anyone here to think Africans are crazy?"thats what she told me.
There are so many other derogatory things she said that led me to believe I was not dealing with a professional. Look, if Hollywood ever wants to acknowledge Nigerian actors, they know where to find us just like they found the Bollywood stars. In the mean time, as I have said for years, I am not desperate for Hollywood. I am an actress, I want to act in the best stories and in the best produced movies with thorough professionals. If a true Hollywood studio offers me a movie, they will approach as the true professionals they are and I will respond as I always have, like a professional…but if fans based in America, choose to shoot a movie and think because they are based in America I should abandon all my work ethics and policies that have kept me where I am for over 10 years and will continue to keep me at the top of my profession, then they must be deluded and I told Ms Djansi that along with informing her that Nollywood is african made and we are proud and if we had half the resources or time that hollywood actors have, we would be just as good if not better. That is my opinion.( I have no problem working with independents. In fact I love it, but they must be genuine)

5..but arent they threatening to sue you ?.

..I have been waiting for this court case she threatened because I made sure she was aware she had no case but she clearly needs my attention and I told her to move on with her life but if she wants to go to court, I am ready. Now, she is involving herself in internet propaganda. which I find laughable. No official of the AGN has contacted me and why would they because of rumours on the internet? Genevieve has been in this business too long to be worried about such things. Like I told leila, many have come and tried and they have failed. My career in the name of God will continue to soar and there is nothing she and her fellow idle minds can do about it.
i am an actress. If you want me in your movie, you approach me. If I like your script and other things fall into place such as fee, my fellow cast etc etc, we have a deal. I am an actress,. The story drives me. My character drives me. I don't care if we are shooting in Enugu or Switzerland. I don't know if other Nigerian acts allow these people abroad to get away with disrespectful and shoddy approaches but I have worked too hard to not be afforded the same respect they would afford the hollywood actresses. I did not beg for a role in her movie. She approached me, so I don't know why she expected me to treat her like someone coming to save nollywood from mediocrity. many like her have come and said the same, now they do nothing but reside here begging for actresses to manage and spreading rumours about actresses and actors that they can not afford and are way above anything they can ever do

6..there is always one rumour or the other attached to the name genevieve nnaji.why is this?
…This will not be the 1st or last rumour about me. It is a hazard of the occupation. those who want to eat and sleep with it for however long are welcome to it. I on the other hand, am busy doing what I love best, acting, being creative and living my life, and thats what no one can take away from me!

hey moesha,good point but before you can claim a house to be yours you have to go to a settlement lawyer and signed for your ownership right to the house..and you get your keys from them.'your real estate agent have nothing to do with you from then..onless you two decided to keep in touch..lol

NaijaDiva killed and buried this gossip yesterday, burrier service attended by Quaye, aseyecalix and Wayoosi.

Why have you decided to dig it up?

These are the chief scavengers:
moesha, shocker and sister. LOL

ladycasper: …

people should just stop hating on gene, she is the BEST actress in Africa, noone can competite, she wants to move forward and not settle for nothing less dont player hate on her game. I think that other actresses and even actors are jelous of her ability and envy how far she is breaking away from NOLLYWOOD to HOLLYWOOD i think she should move to london or usa they afre even looking for talented african actors, she will be rolling in more money then offered by the tulip production anyway

July 06, 2008

shocker: …

Sister, u said hollywood actors make millions of dollars, is gene an hollywood actress?? She does nollywood and not hollywood, she accepted da offer cos she was told how much she was going to be paid…..Y'all shd read naijadivia's comment and close this case :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin

July 06, 2008

moesha: …

to sister, the point is…she shouldn't have taken the role if she didn't want it…I'm sure they informed her about the pay package and she was attracted to it..but to accept a contract and then not turn up at all…thats really bad and unethical in a business sense.. Just imagine you buy a house and 3 months, u haven't received any keys to it nor has your real estate agent called you or returned your calls and u desperately need to move into the house….Genevieve should simply apologize and move on…

July 06, 2008

moesha: …

Wow aseyecalyx, Shut up to Mele? :eek :eek :sigh :sigh :sigh :x :x

July 06, 2008

sister: …

first of all, gene is way too talented to be paid 110,000US. hollywood actors make millions of dollars per movie, then, why should be paid 110,000US? ONLY A FOOL WOULD ACCEPT SUCH OFFER. DON'T LET ANYONE TAKE ADVENTAGE OF YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRICAN.

LMAO!!! My dear Quaye don't waste your breath. I can imagine aseyecalyx's face :grin :grin :grin. With the fumes coming out. smilies/sad.gif

Aseyec…sweetie, relax. Ok Gene was fired. You should be happy now eh? At least a more "deserved" person got the role abi? The chic is somewhere in her mansion cooling off and sipping champagne and you all are here ranting and fuming. I don't have the power for this story abeg, she's not paying me. Next gossip Gossipa!!

July 06, 2008

Quaye: …

Hold your peace Woyoosi, Gene wasn�t fired for God sake.
Mele, which article is aseyecalix talking about? Oh those two lines published?

I don�t go reading two lines article, I talk to them to get their versions. Look aseyecalix engrave this into head, Gene enjoys a successful acting career and feels librated by the way we guys in Africa threat her, and doesn�t need that hollygold role. If you dreamers up there think that role would have transformed her, I�m afraid you are all xxxx.

July 06, 2008

wayoosi: …

point of correction, she did not back off. she was FIRED!!!!!!

July 06, 2008

aseyecalyx: …

we all know genny does that to her nigerian counterparts. if she did not like the deal just renegotiate. if they want you they will give in. don't just slow their production. has she EVER gotten such a deal? or was it the 2million naira month from Lux that got into her head? she was brave in slowing a film set? you are very stupid

July 06, 2008

aseyecalyx: …

just shut up mele and quaye shut up!!! genevieve nnaji was given a bloody deal. everything she wanted inclusive, then for TWO MONTHS she did not show up for reharsals, which part of the article are u reading? shut up. when u begin to pay people money to do things and they don't show up and put a lock on your project then you can talk.

July 06, 2008

mele ida: …

HOW COULD GENE SAYING NO FOR HER DEAL WOULD AFFECT ANYONE .. SAYING YES IS TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR NEGOTIATIONS.IF THEY DONT MEET HER STANDER SHE HAVE HER RIGHT TO BACK OFF FROM THE DEAL ..I THINK GENE WAS BRAVE ..

July 06, 2008

Quaye: …

Like mele ida said, long list of blk Amr looking for scripts. She�s right.
The economists tell us that we should add value to our talents and all that. They are right. We have agreed with them for a long time, but we have not done much about it. Thank God these our African stars are growing up. We should take the economists advice seriously and implement it vigorously.
Aseyecalix, don�t go turning down proposal without reading thru it.

July 06, 2008

Quaye: …

Film making is just like any other industry, the only difference is the size of its pocket, very deep.You don�t go turning down proposals from huge industries at the first time and without taking your time reading it thru.
You�ll accept it, think it thru, check what is in there for you and put forward your demands like how Gene did it. Offered an assistant with a 60k salary and you�re there thinking your sister Akosua will do that jod for a fame, These producers are very very talented themselves, and they know who has what they need.Like mele ida said, long list of blk Amr looking for scrip

July 06, 2008

aseyecalyx: …

why then did she agree to do the movie in the first place? no one is begging her to go to hollywood. but we are begging her not to spoil the chances of those who want to go and also begging her not to spoil the good name of africans. she can in nigeria and play i her one way love stories and soap operas.

July 05, 2008

mele ida: …

THANKS QUAYE..BUT IT'S NOT GENNE ALONE WHO SAID NO FOR HOLLYWOOD.. EMEKA IKE ,RAMSEY NOUAH TOO SAID THEY COME TO AMERICA AS PRINCE AND PROUD..HOLLYWOOD I WAS IN HOLLYWOOD I JUST WANT TO RETURN HOME SAME DAY THERE IS NOTHING IN HOLLYWOOD TO DYING FOR IF YOU ASK ME..I DONT KNOW WHY GHANAINS ACTORS THINK MAKE A BIG MONEY WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL ALL THAT..ACTING IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE TO DO NOT FOR MONEY ??THERE ARE A LOT OF BLACK AMERICANS ACTORS WHO CANNOT EVEN GET A SCRIPT…

i v always loved akofa asiedu……matter-of-fact i told my uncle Henry Afriyie aka Nana Wiafe Akenten, the hot new movie director and producer right now to feature her in most of his movies.

Just come to think about this, their secretaries earn more than the GPs in the UK. Michael J had to run and hide under hijab in Bahrain when his secretaries and servants were after their wages. This is what goes on in the Hollywood ocean.
Hollywood has brought worth and worst nightmares to life in many stars.
Yes, if youre lucky, worth will flow but you canҒt have life.
In exclusive unpublished interviews, we heard what it's like to play roles in Hollywood movies, sweating under the layers of make-up and costume required to transform ordinary actors/actress into pr,,.Do you know what ha

Thanks mele ida.
These bosses are sharks; they will inflate you from side and suck it from the other side. You must get all your demands and figures right before accepting these roles.
Aseclix made mentioned of Kerry W. playing a role in the last king of Scotland.
Kerrys father is a real estate broker in NY and surrounded by people like David Moscow, why wont she do anything for fun.

naija diva, the actors you mentioned are not stars are they? well, my point is these our domestic stars are too pompos. some of them. anyways, lets see the movie and see if genevieve really cares she lost the role or not.

quaye, if you live in Ghana, you will know the news is true. if you doubt go and see akofa in ghana and she will also tell you.

July 05, 2008

Quaye: …

kumiwaa, you should be annoyed with ourself because you've got only one source which is GOSi. I'm not discretting GOSi, the story said GOSi got it from an informer. GOSi should get rid of the dependency of sourcing info from such ??informers. Once she has got rid of that dependency complex, u'll tell the same story as mine about GeNe.
Once you begin to think vigorously for yourself and not relying on ??informers, you'll see things as they really are and shall begin to cherry pick stories like NANA AMA's car with dents. I think i should give up trying to convience KUMIWAA. Call Gene

July 05, 2008

NaijaDiva: …

Aseyecalyx, to answer your question, "where were naija actors when they used akosa sombody and black americans in tears of the sun?" Well It'll interest u to know that the people who played Musa, Lansana and Aurthur Azuka are Nigerians. But u wouldnt know since you're ghanaian wouldnt u? Anyway, I forgive you :roll As to this Genevieve's wahala, I really couldnt care less. Actors and actresses over here throw worse tantrums. It can be something as petty as the color of curtains they want in their dressing room. She's obviously not begging 4 d role so allow her. Its her loss..(like she cares)< /span>

July 05, 2008

kumiwaa: …

wait quaye, the story says she was fired due to lack of communication. not money or big fish in a local pond. someone cannot be paying you 10million naira plus and you do not communicate with them. its better to say you will not not do it than try to flex.

July 05, 2008

Quaye: …

Acseyecalyx, the belief that anybody who will accept a proposal like the one turned down by Gene would usher in prosperity is far from the truth.
Yes, Gene is rude, but wont say no to a $100,000 project. You've just got half of the story. They… peanut, If they complain, Kerry W. will do the job. They are responsible for reversing that, and Gene is doing just dat not allowing 80% of her hard work to go to big boy. We should think and be ruthlessly frank with ourselves that there are many movie stars who can't afford theirs mortgages. Gene is a bfish in the pond between Ghana and Nigeria.

abi the owner of turning point na african woman, Genevieve, I hope you see this, it is only Africans with opportunities to make higher qualty movies than what we have now who will come for you. where were naija stars when they used black americans and Akosua busia for tears in the sun?
genevieve, the bible says pride goes before a fall and a hauty spirit before destruction!!! let she that has ears, heed.

July 05, 2008

aseyecalyx: …

quaye, a nigeria movie budget is not 100,000 dollars. highest is 70,000. so what price is genevieve naming again? she wanted to be pampered, nonsense, that is why studios fly in people like kerry washington to go and play african women roles in last king of scotland. because they do not want to deal with one arrogant domestic actress, homebase. then we complain that dicaprio is playing an africans role. Genevive, there is a long line of BLACK actresses waiting to be recognized in hollywood, the line stretched round the block, join. the best you will get is a film being made by fellow africans!

The dreamers are worried.
Guest, you overdid your comment by adding silly at the end. Anyway, life is not worth living without some excitement now and again and without people like you.
We are primarily responsible for our worth. Gene doesn't need that job to survive. If she was a silly girl, you and i wont waist time talking about her. Silly people dont get to where she is. Is she begging for money? She doesn't want to enter into the obscure master-beggar relation which is what you call rehaersals. Do you know how many people are rehearsing for years? She is naming her price first.

quaye, did you also read that her demands were all met and she did not communicate with he producers? u think this is a nigerian film? look, in other film industries, an actor can work for up to one year on a production before shooting starts. its called rehearsals, silly

July 04, 2008

Amatiwaa: …

I'm really surprised Genevieve chucks a tantrum and some of you are congratulating her….she should learn to be professional..even the Nigerian film board banned her for her rudeness…time will tell, the face will sag and she will soon realize she will work for even 1 $1…110+ US dollars is not small money…I will never congratulate any actress with such behavior…this is an embarrassment and she shouldn't be congratulated by some of you

Quaye: …

That's my girl!! Always put your price and demands first, because we don't eat big names.There are some things for all you people who left those poor mens comments to learn: You should always benefit adequately from exploitation of your talents. The ignorant dismissal of such aims on the grounds that it would deter producers should be regarded with contempt.
Film producers cannot be taken for a ride. So you should neither be taken for a ride. This is the time to think about your talents and figures if you are being offered such an opportunity. Africans must grow up. 100,0??, rubibish

i think we shd take it easy here. i cannot see gene doing that but i think we shd not be here throwing insults at her. this might not be the full story. just b'cos she is a public figure doesn't give u guys the right to insult her. gene will still remain the best. if she blew her chance to be known around the world, its her own cup of tea. is not ur career. she blew away 110,000 dollars.

well i cant judge cause i havent heard her side of the story yet. But howeva, both her name and that of kimberly elise have been taken down from the website Tulipsfilm.com.

And since in her case they said she was too divaish i would like to know why Kim is no longer a part of the movie as well :?

There's no sense in calling her a diva. This is flat out b***hness. How in the world do you mess up such an opportunity that happens to land in your hands cuz Chioma the original pick was pregnant at the time? She just can't be serious. Certainly very very very unprofessional. I bet she made it to the black list for Hollywood movies. What a shame.

I am so angry at her. It was her opportunity to make her name big, but because of her useless deamands. Now she cannot be seen in this big hollywood project, i pray that a better thing happen for Genevieve so that she can become famous in Hollywood.
