In a new chat with the Vanguard, the busty Nollywood actress, Yvonne
Jegede spoke about her relationship with Tuface Idibia, Yvonne Nelson
and more.
Is it true that you dated 2face?
I didn’t date 2face. I only featured in his “African Queen” video. I have never kissed him before.
What can you not do without as a very pretty girl?
My eye pack because I love my eyes. I always like to make my lips
look good. For the accessories, I can not do without my golden wrist
watch. I wear it anywhere I go every day because it gives me good luck. I
like big things and that’s why I have to get a big wrist watch.
What does love mean to you?
I am a lover of love. I love to love. I love to be emotional.Love
is something that I appreciate a lot. Trust me, I am a good lover. I
love my fans, my folks, I love the people that matters to me. I love to
have people around me.
What is an ideal man to you?
I don’t even know what it is any more. But I think people at
different ages have different perspection in respect of what an ideal
man is. He should be more intelligent than myself. I need somebody I can
learn from him. He should also be able to take care of himself. That’s
an ideal man for me. He should
not be ugly.
Which part of you body do you think is your selling point?
I think it is my brain. Talking about the physical things that
attracts men to me, it depends. Some people say, it’s my eyes, others
prefer my lips and my boobs. So, I do not know. When I love into the
mirror, I love everything about myself.
How was your growing up like?
While growing up, I wanted to be a beauty queen. I just like
getting attention. I was the first child. For the first five years of my
life, I have the whole attention in the world. I am so used to people
coming around me. As a child, I got everything I needed.
Tell us about your evolution into Nollywood?
As a child, I never dreamed of going into acting. I loved
modeling, and how paparazzis run after models. I never had acting in
mind until I met Charles Novia.When I saw him somewhere in Surulere, I
was like; is this Charles Novia! And he turned around and looked at me
and said, do I know you? I replied him, saying I saw you on the
television yesterday . He quickly asked me if I wanted to become an
actress? I replied in the affirmative. He later gave me his call card
and invited me for an audition the following day. That was it. While I
was still working on the set with Charles Novia, Uzodimma saw me and
insisted taht he would feature me in his music video. The next day, I
featured in the African queen video. That was how I started my acting
career.
Who are the actresses you look up to?
I love Genevieve Nnaji. I am also a fan of Omoni Oboli, and many
others. Recently you featured in the music video of Sound Sutan. Do you
have passion for dancing? Sound Sultan is a big brother. He called me
and said, I am shooting my music video. Can you come around and give me
your support. When I got there, I ended up featuring in the video. This
is the third time, I would be featuring in a music video. I featured in
African Queen video, Ego and now, Sound Sutan’s video. Does that mean
you are a dancer? I am not a dancer. I am not a video vixien. I can go
and sit down and have a class cup and champagne. That is different from
dancing. I am not a dancer.
What will you say fame has robbed you of?
The good and the bad. Good, in the sense that I can walk into
anywhere and get favour ,especially in the banking hall. Sometimes, I
would be standing in the quene and somebody would walk up to me and
asked me how much do you want? And the person would help me to make it
faster. But the ugly thing is that, you will not live your life the way
you would want to.
You attacked Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson on your twitter handle last year. What triggered off the attack?
I am not going to comment on it. Everybody took side with Yvonne
Nelson, including my friends. So, I am not going to say anything about
it. The whole world was against me. I read the negative reactions of
Nigerians online. I was not expecting anything less. Even my own friends
who never had any encounter with Yvonne Nelson took side with her.
You have a penchant for revealing some part of your body, may be your boobs. What happened today?
Well, it depends on the clothes. I have big boobs, so, if the
clothes are not big enough to cover my boobs you would not blame me for
that. I am not the person who made my clothes . I just put the clothes
on. You have passion for revealing some part of your body? It depends on
my mood. If I want to expose my back, I will do that. It goes with my
mood.
