Ghanaian artiste Trigmatic has urged musicians in the country to seek legal assistance when signing contracts. Speaking at the African Music Business Dialogue and Music Showcase '25 at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum on March 28, 2025, Trigmatic emphasised that artistes should not be stingy when it comes to securing their careers. He stressed the importance of considering the long-term implications of contracts to avoid future regrets. "When they send you that 40-page contract and you know you can't read it, get a lawyer and stop being stingy. Lawyers don’t just speak English, they also love money. "You need to understand the role you are playing when working on a project and charge accordingly. Also, think long-term when signing contracts. If you sign a contract where a commercial will run for an extended period, you will continue earning royalties whenever it airs. That way, you won’t become a burden to your family," he explained.

In Nollywood, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: not all filmmakers and actors are treated equally. They are tagged as YouTube filmmakers, Netflix stars, or Amazon actors. Her fiery post shed light on an issue that has long simmered beneath the surface but rarely gets addressed with such candour. Afegbai’s grievance stems from a disturbing trend where the industry; and the viewers themselves segregate filmmakers and actors based on where their work is showcased. According to her, this classification unfairly creates a hierarchy, diminishing the talents of those who work primarily on platforms like YouTube while elevating others associated with global giants like Netflix or Amazon. “Normally, an actor is an actor. It’s about, are you a good actor? Can you act? But it’s you viewers that have turned the whole thing upside down,” she said.
