Speaking on the “Nollywood Hardcore” podcast hosted by fellow actor Emma Labista, Anuku recounted the challenges he faced at the height of his career. According to him, envy and unhealthy competition among colleagues led to instances of blackmail and diabolical attacks.

He expressed disappointment over how some actors tried to dim his shine out of greed and jealousy.
