Emodi, who has featured in several Nigerian films, said the decision did not come lightly. He thanked his supporters in the movie industry but explained that music has now taken a stronger place in his heart.
“I love every Nollywood fan, but I’m going to make music for the dance floor. We’re working on my EP. However, my family doesn’t support,” he said candidly.
Over the years, Emodi has earned praise for his performances and has grown into one of the industry’s promising actors. His choice to leave acting marks a major shift in his career.
Despite not having the backing of his family, he made it clear that he is determined to follow his passion. He said his focus will be on creating songs that energise listeners and get people moving.
His move also highlights a wider pattern in Nigeria’s entertainment space, where many creatives are exploring more than one talent. Actors, musicians and performers are increasingly branching out into different fields as they grow their careers.
Ray Emodi’s decision signals a new direction for the actor as he prepares to release his EP and step fully into the music scene. While he leaves behind a successful acting path, he appears ready to embrace the challenge of building a name in music. Fans will now be watching closely to see how this next phase unfolds.
