“Producers killed Junior Pope, they blacklisted him” actor Frank Tana reveals
Actor Frank Tana recently took to social media to share some startling information about the death of Junior Pope.
Posting on Instagram, Tana revealed that while he typically refrains from using social media to discuss matters, he felt compelled to do so following the tragic passing of his colleague, Junior Pope.
He conveyed that Junior Pope’s demise was more complex than a mere boat accident, suggesting there was a deeper narrative behind it. Tana disclosed that Junior Pope had essentially been sidelined by major producers in the industry, resulting in his struggle to find work in movies for many years.
Tana discussed Junior Pope’s ongoing struggle to make ends meet, often resorting to various odd jobs in Enugu, Oweri, and Lagos just to sustain himself.
Furthermore, Tana emphasized Junior Pope’s determination as a hustler and lamented how he was overlooked by Nollywood producers, forcing him to accept any job opportunity available, including the ill-fated boat trip in Anam.
In his words, he had this to say,
“Hi friends. I hardly speak. I hardly come to social media to talk. But this time around What k!IlEd Junior Pope? It’s not even the boat capside or something, no. That is not the ontological of his death. Junior Pope dled many years ago. Junior Pope was k!llEd by our producers. Yes, the major producers killed Junior Pope.
The cartel, they k!lled Junior Pope. I am saying this because nobody is feeding me and nobody can feed me. I’m already made and I’m made for life. I am bigger than all of them. Bigger, far bigger than all of them. People that know me, we testify to that. Our producers k!Iled Junior Pope. How did they k!!! him?
Let me tell you. Less than. When I came to Nollywood, when I saw Junior Pope, the way people outside see him is not the way he is in Nollywood.
Junior Pope was struggling to survive. Yes, our producers, they blacklisted him and so many others.
Junior Pope don’t see work in Asaba. He hustles outside, Enugu, Owerri, Lagos to work, to put food on his table. Most people, if not for E money, Emoney bought him his car. Junior Poop was driving one jalupi car like that when I came to Asaba. Emoney bought him a car, a good car, the one that he’s using now for the past four years now, if I’m not mistaken.
Junior Pope is a hustler. Everybody shouting, Adanma luke, Adanma Luke, Adanma Luke k!|lEd Junior Pope. How? Are you people giving him job?
Nobody’s giving him job. That’s why he’s going to Anam to shoot. Because if Junior Pope is busy, like every other artist here in Asaba, what will he be doing in Anam? Even just like me, I can’t go to Anam for one billion. Why? How? Even with the life jackets.”
