Responding to the wave of “hypocrite” labels, Nkechi clarified that the timing of her comment predates the blow-up of the actresses’ rift.
She insisted that she had no prior knowledge of the drama when she posted the comment and accused fans of jumping to conclusions without checking the timeline of events.
In a series of blunt social media posts, the actress did not hold back her frustration. She described the fans involved in the “war of words” as stagnant and urged them to stop trying to pit celebrities against one another for entertainment.
“I dropped a comment 24 hours before the whole drama started yesterday,” she explained, adding that the attempt to shade anyone was entirely a fabrication of the fans.
Nkechi Blessing emphasized that she values her peace and has no interest in being dragged into “celebrity head-jamming.”
She concluded by advising her followers to focus on more productive activities rather than monitoring and misinterpreting every social media interaction between industry colleagues.
