Actress Nkechi Blessing – My bum is too big to hide, even the blind can feel it

Posted: 28 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT

Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has said she doesn't go out of her way to flaunt her big bum.

She told Saturday Beats, "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?"

Blessing also noted that she was supporting Big Brother Naija housemate, Laycon, because of his talent. 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."

The 'Omo Emi' actress also maintained that she wouldn't feel bad if upon leaving the house, Laycon did not appreciate her support for him. 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."

Posted: 27 Sep 2020 10:00 PM PDT

Nollywood actress Toyin Adewale in an interview with City People opened up on her relationship with her son Mayorkun and how she initially held reservations against his career.

Adewale said the young man had a flair for music from a young age and was part of the church choir but she never envisaged him doing music at a professional level.

"I never knew Mayowa will go into music. He used to be a junior choir master while in the choir, but never knew he would go this far, because he has always been a very quiet, easy-going person."

The doting mum admitted to holding back her blessings because she was scared and has been in the industry for far too long to know what it entails.

However, with the intervention of Mayorkun's dad, the actress said she was convinced to give him a chance.


"It was his father who said Toyin, let's give him a chance, he studied banking in school."

On her relationship with him, the doting mum noted that she knows the lyrics of his song from start to finish and keeps a close tab on him.

"I follow and monitor him all the time. In fact, if he has the power to send me out of Instagram, he would have done that since, because I am always on his page every day."

The actress also said she has a lot of screenshots on her page which were taken from Mayorkun's Instagram page. Adewale said she calls him to order whenever she finds anything disturbing.
 
"If I show you my phone you will see different pictures that I screen munched from his page, once I see anything unusual, I snap and call his attention to it, he will be like mummy, please give me a breathing space."
