superstar, Genevieve Nnaji, are lesbians was actually broken by an
online magazine last year and it created a big buzz.
Though both Ella Martins and Geneiveve reportedly, swiftly reacted to
squash it all but it would seem the echoes are still being heard as
Ella revealed in this chat that she is still being haunted by the
scandalous story. When she was chatting with Potpourri recently
through the Whatsapp social platform, the actress who would talk of no
issue other than the allegation of lesbianism involving her and
Genevieve, said she has known no peace since the story broke. Listen
to her story:
What are you working on now?
My new album and my new single is Baby Chocolate. It is my fourth
album as an artiste.
Is there anything bothering you?
I wanted to have an interview especialy after the allegation of
lesbianism between me and Genevieve Nnaji
You became popular in Nigeria after that allegation of lesbianism
between you and Genevieve. How did that little scandal affect you and
your career?
Yes, it has affected my emotional life, because everybody now believes
I am in a relationship with Genny and my family is not happy about
it. It has really affected my career and image at home.
Have you had any similar issue back home before then?
I have never been tagged that before. It is something that is
completely new to me. There has never been a time I was accused of
being a lesbian. One little thing happened about me and Genevieve
Nnaji and everyone now believes I am a lesbian. It is very touching
and depressing.
What actually happened between you and Genny that sparked the allegation?
Hmm, you know I speak more of French than English, so, it is a little
hard for me to express myself fully. 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.
What kind of pictures are you talking about?
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.
So, you and Genevieve were never kissing each other in any pictures
you took together?
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.
You still received calls over the incident?
I am a very popular figure in my country and a lot of people are
jealous of me. So many of them would like to see me go down and this
may be a good excuse for them to start something.
When they call you on phone, do they ask for anything or sound like
blackmailers?
No, just to say they will expose our dirty secret and I don't have any
dirty secret.
If you have no dirty secret why are you now scared?
You don't understand, even the pictures they released online was
worked on, adulterated to make it look different from the actual
pictures. We kissed as normal girls, not as romantically or sexually
as they projected in the pictures posted online.
What is the relationship between you and Genevieve Nnaji?
We have been good friends since 2004. We met when Kenis 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.
Sincerely, are you and Genevieve Nnaji sexually involved?
No, never. I am neither a lesbian nor is Genevieve. We are just two
close friends, showing profound emotions for each other by kissing.
