Eniola Badmus
Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus has revealed how she relates with Nigerian music superstars, Olamide and Davido whenever she is around them.
Busty who described the duo as her brothers said never relate with them as being older.
“Davido is not my friend; he is a brother from another mother. Olamide is also my ‘blood’.
“The number one thing that has been working for me is that when I’m with either of them, I don’t even consider that I’m older and we relate well. They are quite respectful. I’m not particular about people calling me aunty because I’m older. I don’t care about age differences. If I like a person, irrespective of age, then we are cool, and we would flow. I think I’m just a small girl in an adult’s body. I like to relate with different people.”
The popular actress also said she has never been a victim of circumstances revolving around sex in return for a favour. Speaking with Punch, Eniola who said may be due to her playful character, the person who wants to have such conversation might have forgotten.
“I have never been a victim of that, so I cannot say much about it. I’m a naturally playful person. Whenever people are around me, they always laugh and feel good; maybe that’s what has helped me in that area. While the person is probably thinking of having that kind of conversation with me, I would have made him laugh so much that he would even forget about it.
“Anybody may find me sexy or attractive but I know what I’m doing and I go for whoever I want.
“However, these things happen in all professions and not only in the movie industry. We have also heard different stories from other industries. But I am not a fan of such behaviour and would never promote it. It’s normal for a man to find a woman attractive, but it should not be in return for favour or promotion. It should be by mutual consent,” she added.
Speaking on how she has remained to stay relevant despite the competition among actors, the top actress stated that she has been putting more energy to the business side of her career.
“I realised that there was a business side to my career and I started putting more energy into it. I do other things too, such as hosting events and operating an online TV on YouTube. Basically, you would find me involved in everything that has to do with entertainment, except music.”
Speaking on her endorsement deals, the actress said she is happy that the brands are not surrounded by controversies.
“So far so good, my brand has not been controversial. You would hardly hear anything bad about me, and I try to respect myself, although I am not perfect. I have managed to keep my records clean, and I am good at what I do. Gone are those days when brands just signed artistes for their name and popularity. Now, they must add value.
“One must have been paid a lot of money to be an ambassador for a brand. So, I promote the brand as best as possible, and of course, other companies are watching. They (brands) believe I can take them to the next level.”
Speaking of people who usually troll and body shame people on the big side, Eniola said she has never felt insecure about herself.
“I believe I am the most confident person on earth because whatever any slim individual does, I can probably do better and still make good money out of it. If I were not this big, I would have been skydiving.
