We’re heavy spenders'- Patience Ozokwo reveals why actors beg on sick bed

Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwo has provided an explanation for why some entertainers choose to turn to beg when they are ill and unable of helping themselves.

The veteran claims that while they are working and making a good living, many stars have to spend a lot of money to preserve their celebrity status due to the expensive lifestyle that the public demands of them.

Patience Ozokwo said that many people do not help actors because they believe they are wealthy based solely on what they wear on the red carpet.

She added that they have to take care of themselves when they are sick, and when they run out of options, they have to turn to social media begging.

Her justification followed criticism of actors who were accused of begging while they were struggling.
