Lol! Nollywood Version of Empire Cast Goes Viral

How hilarious is this! It won't come as a surprise if this list of Nigerian actors turn out to be the actual cast on an Empire inspired Nollywood movie or series, Lol!
Empire is such a hit show right now, so no surprise this tweet by music journalism student @ImaniDH, that put together a Nollywood Empire cast has gone viral!
For the take no nonsense outspoken Cookie Lyon, she chose Funke Akindele, adding, the Jenifa actress ‘would actually slay Cookie’s role though.’
For Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard, Ghanaian actor Van Vicker was chosen and I guess Ramsey Nouah could also play as him.
As Cookie’s boyfriend and Empire’s former head of security Malcolm Deveaux, she replaced Derek Luke with Emeka Ike.
Last but certainly not least is Eniola Badmus as Gabby Sidibe. The Yoruba actress has compared herself to Gabourey Lucious’ former assistant, Becky in the past.
