Actress Genevieve Nnaji, who hardly responds to reports about her, has responded to this one. A day after she was called out by Nollywood director Mac Collins Chidebe for allegedly describing Nollywood as bland and mediocre in an interview with Punch over the weekend, Ms Nnaji took to her instagram page to deny she ever used those words. What she wrote below…
I never called my industry bland and mediocre. Truth or not, they were NOT MY WORDS. As a person/writer, you can “assume” what you like about my thought process but DO not project those thoughts as “quotes” by me. It’s distasteful, insensitive and quite unprofessional. It’s insulting to those limited few working hard to make a difference in the industry. I am a product of Nollywood and my loyalty remains unshaken.
