Fast rising Christian Rapper Limoblaze has made his debut in Nollywood. He featured in a forthcoming movie titled ‘Payday’.
The rapper announced this in a post on social media with the movie poster and a simple caption:
“My first feature movie is coming to a cinema near you in a few!”
The movie directed by Cheta Chukwu also features Big Brother Naija housemate Bisola Aiyeola, Zack Orji, Ebiye Victor, Baaj Adebule, Meg Otanwa and more.
The movie is a collaboration between Dreamboat Pictures and Igodo Films.
The synopsis follows the story of best friends and flat mates, Paul (Baaj Adebule) and Ortega (Ebiye Victor) whose Landlord dies very suddenly just before they renew their yearly rent. Without any heir apparent. The young men seize upon the unfortunate but good opportunity to ‘enjoy’ a little.
They go on an expensive night out. The Landlord’s daughter (Segilola Ogidan) turns up the following morning and gives the boys 24-hour notice to pay up or quit. They embark on an overnight scheme to recover the rent, leading to a dangerous encounter with an eccentric drug baron (Frank Adekunle Macaulay), a desperate robbery attempt, a gambling adventure, and an ego war with the neighborhood bully, Orlando (Mawuli Gavor). All the while hounded by Ngozi (Bisola Aiyeola), the neighborhood gossip who just wants a piece of the action.
Cheta Chukwu, said he wanted to make an authentically youthful and urban Nigerian film with a global appeal.
Payday was shot on locations in Abuja and Lagos, and it will hit cinemas nationwide in April.
