Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has said that she never faced any discrimination in the Yoruba movie Industry.
The actress who was born and brought up in Lagos said that the reason why she stars in Yoruba movies is because she speaks the language fluently.
She told Saturday Beats, “I was born and brought up in Lagos. I also speak Yoruba fluently, so it was quite easy for me to get into the Yoruba movie industry. I never faced any discrimination in the Yoruba movie industry. I was received with open hands right from the onset. However, I am now doing both English and Yoruba movies.”
Speaking on her curvy looks, Nkechi Blessing said, “People who think I flaunt my sexual appeal for popularity are very wrong. I cannot hide my bum. It is big and everybody can see it. Even the blind can feel it. Why would anyone think I’m flaunting it for attention?”
On her support for Big Brother Naija housemate, Laycon, she said, “I support him because he is talented and intelligent. And I feel he has a lot in him to give out. It is not about physical appearance because there were lots of beautiful ladies and handsome men in the house (and there still are). Also, he has a special kind of grace that attracts people to him.”
She added that she won’t feel bad if Laycon fails to appreciate her after leaving the BBNaija house.
She said, “Even without him winning, his family members, including his daughter and mum, are already calling to thank me for the little I’m doing. I don’t do these things for acknowledgement. My reward is not with any human being but God, so I don’t know why people think I am doing this for clout. I did not beg anybody for money. I am only doing what I feel is right. My kind of person helps everyone I can, whether I know them or not. A lot of people have even been insulting me that Igbo people are in the house and I’m supporting a Yoruba person. But, I do what my spirit tells me. If he comes out of the competition and doesn’t thank me, it wouldn’t make me hate him or not support him in future.”
