Bukola pleaded with her fans to avoid associating individuals with the misconduct of others, highlighting the diversity among industry professionals and their distinct backgrounds. She emphasized, “Yeah! We all are actors, we are colleagues, but we ain’t from the same background, we were not brought up the same way, stop generalizing us with insults our surnames are different… THANKS.”
Expressing her frustration, Bukola further noted, “Most of us in the industry don’t even know ourselves, we just meet up at locations do our work and go back to our various homes. Imagine having to face backlash for other people’s misconduct.”
She also reflected on the unjust treatment she has experienced in the industry and expressed gratitude to her supportive fans. Stressing that she is comforted by the overwhelming love she receives from her followers, she addressed the negativity she has encountered.
Bukola also previously disclosed her decision to refrain from participating in the Big Brother Naija reality show due to her attachment to her phone. She emphasized the importance of minding one’s own business and defended her personal choices.
