“As of last year, my artist fee is over $20k and my lifestyle is expensive” – Angela Okorie addresses reports of being evicted from her Lagos house
Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has shut down reports of her being evicted from her Lagos house by her Landlord over unpaid rent.
Popular Instagram blogger Cutie Jullss alleged that the actress was thrown out of her rented house over unpaid rent. The blogger claimed that Angela has been owing up to two years rent, and has been avoiding her landlord because of her inability to pay for her rent.
Reacting to it, in a series of posts on her Instagram story, Angela shut down the report as she noted how no Lagos landlord would allow anyone to stay in their house for 2 years without rent. She claimed that she wasn’t around when her bags were thrown out.
“My people, if you live in Lagos, no landlord will allow you to live in his house for 2 years without rent. I wasn’t even around when they did what they did; my boys were already packing out; why are they trying to tell Cutie Juls that they evicted me? The thunder wey go fire you, just wait I dey come Live”.
In another post, she claimed that the industry and her unfriendly friends are trying to use the blogger to defame her.
“Cutie Juls as frat hair full ur pumpum.
You no still get sense, how dare you?
The industry and unfriendly friends have used you for a long time.
I am coming for you big time, make sure you have proof of everything you are saying. Did I ever tell you I bought the house I am living in in Lekki County? I have other houses I bought, I have never told you I bought the house, what is wrong with people”
In another post, she claimed that as of last year, her artist fee was $20,000 as she questioned how she could be living a fake lifestyle.
“As of last year, my artist fee is over 20 thousand dollars. How are my living a fake life? My lifestyle is too expensive, from my outfits to my lifestyle is expensive, and these local champs can’t deal with it. Did I lie about my cars or houses? If I buy a house, I don’t even post; if I buy cars, I don’t post. You just see me using my properties and my stuff. I don’t need anybody’s validation. I don’t tell people what I am doing, I am a private person, but if you carry fight comes, we stand gidigba.
Somebody cannot pack in peace? Na wano Nigerians una no dey try at all.
Report any page that is bent on bringing people down; they are part of the plan, make una watch them, make sure bottles dey fly before they divide this country”.
In a fourth post, she noted how happy some of her colleagues were about the negative news.
“If you see how some of my colleagues are happy with that nonsense those idiots are writing? The more you spend money to bring me down, the more am going higher.
Most times is a free advert, y’all are doing.
Confused admirers, even 100 million of you can never bring me down, get a life, leave Angela alone Ndi Nzuzu.
Seems y’all can’t do without me, all of you obsessed with me, you can’t breathe, I go seize all of una breath. I never start. Ndi ara”
She explained that during her days as a songwriter abroad, she wore baggy clothes before meeting her ex-husband and former manager, Tunji Balogun, aka Teebillz, who rebranded her.
Featuring in a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast hosted by Joey Akan, Savage recounted how Teebillz rebranded her into a sex symbol after relocating to Nigeria to pursue a singing career.
She said, “The sexiness in my 2024 single ‘Wanted’ music video felt groundbreaking at that time. Because I just got married and there’s a lot of press saying, ‘She’s not going to be desirable anymore. She’s finished. Her time is gone. There are new people on the scene.’ So, I was just like, let me do something crazy.
“That was me being rebellious. I was like, Oh! You guys think I’m not sexy anymore? To be honest, that wasn’t the aim, to just try to be sexy. Because naturally, I’m not. Naturally, I’m a tomboy. But again, TJ [Tunji Balogun] saw that there was a gap in the market and he was just like, you’ve to lose weight, you’ve to go to the gym, you’ve to start waxing your eyebrows. You’ve to start wearing wigs. He literally changed my whole appearance. I was not like that in L.A. when he met me.
“I used to be a songwriter in the studio wearing baggy jeans and t-shirt. And he literally changed that. I don’t think that he thought there was going to be a backlash. He was just like, let’s give them the African Rihanna or Beyoncé. I was like, okay, let’s go ahead. And we came back to Nigeria, but my fashion sense attracted criticism. Then, I ran back to L.A.
“I was really bad. I would go to shows and I would be waiting backstage and they wouldn’t call me because maybe the governor’s wife had said I can’t come up or they’d say, make sure you don’t wear any of those your skimpy dresses. I’m not making this up. There was a time, ‘Love Me’ was banned on TV. I was discouraged. I remembered Bizzle called me and told me ladies were loving me, so I came back to Nigeria. I’ve told the story where I went to all the labels and they all said no, Storm Records, Mo’Hits, Banky W’s EME, everyone.”
In a video interview posted on social media, Rema noted that he enjoyed being trolled because of the benefit that comes with it.
While reflecting on his career journey, the singer stated that being constantly trolled online helps him in achieving global success and growth.
Rema who endured skepticism about his unique sound noted how devastating it would’ve been if he had abandoned his ambitions over negative comments.
He said, “It is beautiful to see something that people troll and criticise me for. And, you know what? I’m benefiting from that. Imagine if I had stopped or listened to trolls. Like if I should say oh, I think I should switch it off.
“And four years later, it paid and it paid. And more to come. You know, because it’s a huge territory, right? And I was actually the first Afrobeat to tour India. And I even came from Africa if I’m not mistaken. But it is a huge deal.
The controversial actress stated this in her recent post on her Instagram page.
Ogunro made this statement while advising women to prioritise their sexual life to maintain attractiveness.
Sharing her sultry picture, she wrote, “Lack of sex reduces a woman beauty, please adjust. I have said my own”.
Her post sparked diverse reactions on the internet, with some supporting that healthy sex life boosts a woman’s confidence, while many contended that beauty can’t be solely linked to one’s sex life.
This is not the first time Ogunro has stirred controversy. In 2023, she faced backlash for stating that a woman’s happiness is tied to her man’s financial generosity.
With this new claim, she once again positions herself at the center of Nigeria’s ongoing cultural war on gender, sex, and perception.
