Rita Dominic Fires Back At Critics Mocking Her Latest Movie Role
Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has hit back at critics after facing mockery over her involvement in the Lekki Wives reality show.
The incident began when a user on X (formerly Twitter) questioned Dominic’s decision to participate in the show, suggesting that such a role was beneath her status in the film industry.
The critic’s post read, “There are certain projects your brand should outgrow, because why is Rita Dominic in Lekki Wives or whatever it is called? Common.”
In a poignant response, Dominic, known for her extensive and acclaimed career in Nollywood, addressed the criticism by emphasising the importance of artistic integrity. She advised fellow actors to disregard such negative comments and continue to pursue their creative endeavors without hesitation.
“Dear Actors, only people who have no single drop of artistic integrity speak like this. If you listen to them you will soon begin to believe you are more important than the industry that birthed you,” Dominic wrote.
She further encouraged her colleagues to embrace any platform that allows them to express their creativity and hone their skills, regardless of public opinion.
“You are an ACTOR, so make sure to find a way or platform to release the creative energy in you. Continue to hone your skills regardless of empty comments like this because knowledge is never-ending – yours truly, Rita.”
Dominic’s response highlights her commitment to her craft and her belief in the limitless nature of artistic growth. Her stance has garnered widespread support from fans and fellow actors alike, who praised her for standing up against the detractors and promoting a message of perseverance and dedication to the arts.
This episode underscores the ongoing conversation about the roles and choices actors make in their careers and the importance of staying true to one’s artistic vision amidst external pressures.
A video has surfaced online, capturing the moment Nigerian singer Davido allegedly slapped one of his mmember so staff simply identified as ‘iamSegxy’ during his wedding ceremony.
The incident, which took place just a week after Davido’s highly publicised wedding to Chioma, has ignited a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.
The footage shows the man bowing to Davido immediately after the alleged slap. Notably, Chioma, alongside media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and singer B-Red, were present during the incident but appeared unfazed.
The video has garnered significant attention, with many expressing shock at the occurrence.
However, the purported victim (iamSegxy) has come forward to refute the allegations.
Taking to social media, he clarified the situation, stating, “As regards the fake video circulating on the internet, you are all commenting on something you don’t know. My boss didn’t slap me and has never slapped any of his staff. He was only cautioning me to allow the boy. The boy in question appeared from nowhere and I tried to stop him. Besides, my boss is my blood and family, I understand him so well without a word from his mouth. 30BG for life. Happy married life, boss.”
This clarification has added a new dimension to the controversy, with many supporters rallying behind Davido. Despite this, the incident continues to trend, sparking debates on the dynamics between celebrities and their staff.
Comedian Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has thanked Afrobeats star Burna Boy for boosting his career.
The comedian made this known in a post via his social media pages on Monday, thanking the ‘City Boys’ crooner for giving him the opportunity to perform and open his London show.
He wrote, “Biggest 1 minute appearance in my career. Given a script same morning to make a minute appearance to introduce Salifu Keita and ODOGWU himself as instructed.
“Biggest 1 minute of my career !! Thanks Burna Boy.”
Sheila, the estranged wife of singer Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, has stated she has no regrets about calling it quits on her marriage to DMW.
She expressed her position in a recent podcast conversation with her friend Ginika.
On Wednesday, a tape of the interview went viral on social media.
Sheila did, however, acknowledge that her ex-husband “damaged” her by including her mother and friend in their divorcing story.
“I did not regret any decision I have taken because it was all bound to happen. I believe strongly that God is in charge of all that happens in our lives whether positive or negative, there’s a master planner behind everything,” she said.
“But I’ve had my moments of sadness. I feel so bad about the whole thing especially the way my friend and my mum were dragged into it [our divorce]. That has hurt me. But generally, I have zero regrets.”
Recall that Israel and Sheila tied the knot on October 20, 2022, at a traditional ceremony that was held in Benin City.
However, just eight months after their opulent wedding, the couple called it quits due to accusations of adultery and domestic abuse made by both sides.
