Controversial Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has apologised to the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria, TAMPAN, and its president, Bolaji Amusan, better known as Mr Latin, over her suspension from Nollywood.
Naija News recalls that in 2021, Nkechi Blessing was involved in a social media spat with her colleague, Lege Miami, for openly condemning Nollywood actor, Baba Ijesha, for defiling the foster daughter of Nigerian comedienne, Princess.
Nkechi Blessing began the social media outburst because Lege Miami appeared sympathetic to Baba Ijesha’s plight, who was accused of sexual assault with a minor at the time.
TAMPAN frowned at the social media fight between the Nollywood actors and suspended them indefinitely from appearing on Yoruba movie sets.
Lege Miami appeared remorseful and tendered an apology, while his colleague, Nkechi Blessing, disregarded TAMPAN’s notice of suspension and called it a bluff.
However, the movie star apologized for her actions at The Celebrities Entertainment Award in Canada.
Nkechi knelt, begging the TAMPA officials for forgiveness, stating that she had missed the industry.
