But he pointed out that the movie he would star in needs to be one that has to do with being conscious.

He said:

"Nigeria, I'm waiting for an invitation. I'm trying to get into Nollywood. I want to star in some of the Nigerian movies. Somebody put me in touch with Black Nollywood in Nigeria.

"I want to be in a Nollywood movie. Anybody making a movie out there has got to be conscious though. I'm not doing any blaxploitation. My role has to be egocentric. My role has to be who I am. I can have a different name and personality but it must be progressive and pan-Africanist.

"I will not play a con on television. I'm not playing no pimp, no drug dealer, no criminal. It must be consistent. egocentricity is a necessity."
