When it was announced few weeks before the Best of Nollwyood awards that actress and screen diva, Mercy Aigbe-Gentry would host the event alongside comedian, Okey Bakkassi, it was delightful news to so many people.
But it was a huge disappointment especially
to her fans when the actress didn’t show up
at the event leaving Okey Bakkassi to anchor it alone.
However, there were speculations and
insinuations that Aigbe backed out at the
last minute because she allegedly couldn’t
handle such event. More so, it was alleged
that the actress who features mostly in
Yoruba movies, is not fluent in English and
could embarrass herself in front of the
crowd.
Then, when Saturday Beats reached out
to the actress, she said that she would not
comment on the reason she shunned the
award.
“I would not speak on why I was not at
BON awards or why I did not host the event.
I don’t care about what anybody says. If
they say my spoken English is not fluent,
that is their business. I do not speak
fluently yet I have hosted various awards
including the City People awards. People have watched my interviews on television and they listen
to me speak on my social media accounts,” she said.
