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.
