 "The first time I noticed him, he was different. He looked crazy and funny but he is no more funny, now he is a nuisance. I used to like his style of music. That time when he first came out, I wanted him on my show. I didn't have his phone number so I sent him a message on Instagram. I requested for his contact so that we can discuss about my show. Later, I had to go through his former manager who later sent his contact to me but Portable didn't pick up, so I went back to his manager. We did not conclude our discussion before I dropped the idea."

I don't know, she is in the best position to answer that.I have also not featured her in any of my movies before. I invited her more than two times. There was a time when I invited her to be my MC.There was another time I invited her to my first movie, we were in Unilag then. She packed two different boxes of costumes, and as we were about to get onto the bus, I think she got a call. We spoke about it and she felt it was best she didn't follow us. For me, it was weird. I started seeing her as someone who knows what she wants. She has been able to build herself and it works with her."

Like I said, I don't get moved by any of those things."

She noted: 

"The book is actually about my life story and some financial breakthrough tips that have been helping some people I have been talking to personally. Why did I see the need to put the book together? Over the years, I have not done anything professionally apart from acting. That is what I grew up to know. I found out that everything surrounding me, my decision, the kind of life I live. Even in my area, being a popular person since age 16 has had a great influence on my life. It is very difficult to pinpoint something that my career didn't influence, then after I found out that I started hearing stories about the fact that people don't want to marry actresses, I decided to have children before 27 but I didn't want to be married. I have lived my life based on what people want. But later I started fulfilling my wish. What am I trying to say, the book is about my life, experiences, how I made my money and was able to buy cars and build my house."
