Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo has reacted to claims circulating that he's a ritualist due to the movie roles he plays.

Kanayo O. Kanayo usually stars as a ritualist and occultist in movies which has led many fans to conclude that those roles are actually a reflection of his lifestyle.

The actor who has been sharing videos showing him participating in the 'don't leave me challenge" took time to addressed the issue in an Instagram live chat with fans.

According to him, those talking about rituals should be regarded as a distraction.

He said, “We are doing something about this. Don’t leave me challenged, so all you talking about ritual, go and do rituals with yourself.

“I played a role, but the fact is some people don’t contribute anything to followership, all they want to do is cause distraction.

“Don’t go with such people who are always there to distract you, remain focused. You notice that people who always talk about rituals are not focused".
