Controversial radio presenter, Daddy Freeze, has told actor, Desmond Elliot, that Nigerians should be allowed to choose what kind of movies they want to watch.

His comments are coming in the wake of a viral video where Elliot called on the government to curtail the influx of foreign movies to help Nollywood grow.

Daddy Freeze delivered his response in a tweet on Tuesday.

“Dear Brother Desmond, I love you, but I’m not with you on this. I should be able to choose what I want to watch if I’m paying for it, shouldn’t I?

“Why don’t you strive to raise Nollywood to Hollywood standards and then people will gravitate towards Nollywood naturally?” he wrote.

Elliot made his comments in an interview with HIP TV.

“Ban all foreign content, you know, make it difficult for foreign content to come in, so your own local content can grow and then, you need to support,” he said.

The Husbands of Lagos actor also said that the government needed to create an enabling environment for the entertainment business to thrive.
