Benoise actress and singer, Ella Martins, allegedly in a sexual relationship with Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, has cleared the air in a recent interview with Vanguard.
Ella Martins and Genevieve Nnaji
The news went viral after an online magazine broke the reports last year that Benin Republic actress, Ella Martins, and Nollywood diva, Genevieve Nnaji, were lesbians, sharing photo of the two kissing.
Speaking on the genesis of the allegation she said: “What happened is that Genny and I were in a club in Lagos and her phone got missing. Later, I think a paparazzi or someone got hold of it and started sharing some contents about me and Genny online. I don’t see anything abnormal in the pictures but people started talking that we must be lesbians and all. As normal persons and friends, we do take normal pictures at home and in other places, but I don’t know why the online magazine showed Genevieve and I kissing, I am surprised and don’t know where they got those pictures from. We kissed, but it was nothing extraordinary. It was normal kiss between girls.

"I mean girls do kiss each other normally, even guys do too. When I was dating Fally Ipupa we used to kiss and now that we are separated and are good friends, we still continue kissing like we used to. My fear is I receive strange calls saying that in a few days’ time they will be releasing more pictures about us."
Ella emphasizing on her relationship with Nnaji said: “We have been good friends since 2004. We met when Kennis Music organised an award, and since then, we have been good friends. We talk often and whenever I am in Lagos, we meet up and have fun as friends. I have had no peace since the pictures leaked online. Everybody now calls me Genny’s wife back home. I am neither a lesbian nor is Genevieve. We are just two close friends, showing profound emotions for each other by kissing.”
