BBNaija reality Star and actress, Erica Nlewedim, has slammed a troll who ridiculed her accomplishments as an actress.
In response to a tweet comparing Erica and another actress, the Twitter user noted that comparing the Big Brother Naija reality star Erica to Bimbo Ademoye, a popular Nollywood actress is an insult.
The Twitter user affirmed that Bimbo Ademoye fought her way through to limelight in the Nigerian movie industry, unlike Erica, who was a product of the reality show Big Brother Naija.
She said, “This is really an insult to Bimbo. Bimbo literally built herself from the ground up as an actress. Erica went for big brother and producers are using her for clout.“
