Speaking on the challenges women face in the industry, the actress opened up that she was told to offer s3xual favors or enter into relationships with marketers and producers in order to succeed.

“Not one, not two people told me that if they didn’t have their way with me or date me, I would go nowhere,” she revealed.

Despite these obstacles, Fagbuyi pressed forward in her career, crediting veteran actor,  Muyiwa Ademola as one of the first to give her a chance in the industry.
