The melanin popping actress stated this after she announced that she had taken a COVID-19 test.

“Just took my COVID test. Mehn its uncomfortable make I no lie. I was already in tears cos this @NseIkpeEtim told me it was painful. The lady was nice & gentle sha. Told me 2 take a deep breath while she stuck the swab stick deep inside my nose and take a deep breath,” she tweeted.
