<p> ;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife</a></strong> reports that Nollywood actor Ray Emodi has officially announced that he’s stepping away from his acting career to follow his passion for music.</p>
<p>In heartfelt messages shared on his official Instagram account on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Emodi cited a combination of personal struggles, family concerns, and health-related pressures as the driving reasons behind his decision.</p>
<p>In his announcement, the actor reflected on some difficult experiences he endured while working on film sets across Nigeria, including one shoot in a town where gunshots could be heard nearby.</p>
<p>“I have stopped acting in films. I quit. There was a time I never thought I would say that sentence for a short period of time, but I won’t lie,” he wrote, revealing just how challenging the decision has been.</p>
<p>Emodi went on to explain that although he has spent years building his career in Nollywood, certain moments took a toll on his mental well-being.</p>
<p>“I have put in a lot of work in Nollywood. I shot a film in a town that I won’t mention, but we were literally hearing gunshots. There was like a craziness going on in the town next to our town, and we were still shooting,” he shared.</p>
<p>He also acknowledged the role his family played in his decision, noting that his choice has not been fully supported at home.</p>
<p>“This is a decision that has come with a lot of consequences.</p>
<p>My family does not support this. It is a family with strict rules and a reputation to protect, which is understandable, and I respect them,” Emodi said, underscoring the complexity of balancing his career and loved ones’ expectations.</p>
<p>“I respect their decision, and I won’t do anything that would bring any stain to the name.”</p>
<p>Despite the challenges, the actor made it clear that he’s ready to pursue a new creative chapter.</p>
<p>“I love music. I have always loved music. I make good music. I want you guys to come with me on this journey,” Emodi wrote, assuring his fans that although he’s leaving acting, he isn’t abandoning them.</p>
<p>“I love every single Nollywood fan, and I am not leaving you. I am just going to make music.”</p>
<p>Ray Emodi’s departure from Nollywood marks a significant shift in his career, reflecting a thoughtful decision driven by personal well-being, family considerations, and a long-standing passion for music.</p>
<p>While his fans may miss his on-screen presence, his move signals a promising new chapter in the entertainment industry, one where creativity and personal fulfillment take center stage.</p>
