The actress disclosed that she wore the masquerade costume for a movie and that it was cleansed with alligator pepper after which she prayed before putting it on.
While appealing to Igbo people to forgive her, the actress acknowledged that there were times she could get into character and cross boundaries.
The actress also spoke about her Christian background while responding to those who spoke about the repercussion another actress faced for wearing a masquareade custome.
“I’m sorry to all the Igbo people, the Igbo soil has blessed me a whole lot and I have no right to disrespect your culture and tradition. But it was for a movie. You know, everyone knows I love epic stories. I love to tell epic deep stories and sometimes when I get into character, I I forget and cross some boundaries,” she said in part.
