Nollywood actress, Queen Nwokoye has been in the industry
since 2004. For many years, she was not one of the prominent stars, in
spite of the fact that she befriended a lot of star actors.
Speaking to Sunday Scoop on her
journey to stardom and how she became a star without relocating to
Lagos, which is considered the hub of entertainment,
Nwokoye said,
“Lagos is too rowdy. It’s too busy for me. In Lagos, everybody is
hustling. I am not a hustler. All my life, I have never had to hustle
for anything, anything I have came to me, including stardom.”
Does that mean she is one of the said
few that didn’t have to sleep with a producer to get movie roles?
‘‘If it is true that actresses have to sleep with producers to get
roles, I’m happy I didn’t have to do so. Sometimes, it is people’s way
of trying to explain away their failure. I didn’t pass through it. From
my experience, nobody ever asked to sleep with me. If you present
yourself as someone that can sleep around to get roles, people will
treat you that way. But the truth is how many people do you want to
sleep with before you become famous?”
Queen, who has been accused of refusing
to discuss her marital status, said stardom hasn’t changed her. “I don’t
think anybody can accuse me of being proud. I don’t even consider
myself a star and I don’t see how someone like me can begin to act
arrogantly.”
With plans to produce movies; Queen said she was grateful to God and her fans that had kept faith with her.
