Actress Genevieve Nnaji, who hardly responds to reports about her, has responded to this one. A day after she was
called out by Nollywood director Mac Collins Chidebe for allegedly describing Nollywood as bland and mediocre in an interview with Punch over the weekend, Ms Nnaji took to her instagram page to deny she ever used those words. What she wrote below...
I
never called my industry bland and mediocre. Truth or not, they were
NOT MY WORDS. As a person/writer, you can "assume" what you like about
my thought process but DO not project those thoughts as "quotes" by me.
It's distasteful, insensitive and quite unprofessional. It's insulting
to those limited few working hard to make a difference in the industry. I
am a product of Nollywood and my loyalty remains unshaken.

Your comment on 'Linda's Monday Giveaway' cracked me up! The 'situation' no serious anything o. Just looking for freebies. Anyway I'm not surprised by the outcome cos I'm no good @ winning such bonanzas/lottery or whatever name you call it. Maybe we can meet up so you share your secrets to winning free stuffs, I.e Nokia Lumia, N100k from linda etc *wink***
Alright! But I still maintain there was nothing wrong with the statement! Nollywood is bland and mediocre!
Lindodo U c? I love Gene jor.. Too much class n elegance
Leave my Baby girl Genevieve Alone
Bikonu
abeg make una forgive her ooo
If i am her...well i would say there is not point sinking along with a wrecked ship..can't even remember the last time i watched a nollywood movie..when is 1/2 of a yellow sun coming out sef!?..guess d useless sensor board are at it again..see, the industry is a mess
Am impress... true sense of character from a beauty
Come, madam linda, dem send virus to ya blog nii?
In 'MY OPINION' genny is not even that great of an actress.. Yes she has gone international and all that but her acting is dull in my opinion,people love her bcox of her beauty and long coverage and loads of past controversies!! Anyway to each his own sha,just sayin!
i knw genny is way more responsible dan dat!
I love d red nd white background dis blue and arsh is somehw plz. Lindodo plz do sometin
Nice response and a matured one from her. But that doesn't change the level of mediocrity in the movie industry.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Genny would never say that directly; she's very smart and articulate..
Let's not forget that it's the same industry that made her, employed and keeps employing some jobless youths.. Only that they've now introduced POLITICS into it.
* My R1.50c comment *

Her make up and hair just don't go.. I like her response by the way. #ClassPersonifiedEve.
Right!
Shame on all those saying Gene was right for calling out the inndustry that made her who she is today. She has cleared the air.
I love u Genny. No mind them.
Madam, the man asked you a simple question? Your response it pityable from a professional as you claim to be, too many uncalled for words.
What have you added to the industry? Have you produced any films or brought heaven to Nigeria?
I fear to know the answer to that?
Correct geh.
They always deny.
better pikin
I trust her. Pretex4luv@yahoo.com
You see y my love for Jenny can never depreciate.I just love dis lady.

She's beautiful her choice of words are also beautiful#maryprynce
Ur an ass 4 saying dt
Genny gal ur profession na ur profession oooo
Genny nice choice of words! you've shown a high level of maturity.
Ur jst a clown
ITS GOOD SHE CLEARED D AIR, U DONT BITE THE FINGER THAT FED U AND IS STILL FEEDING YOU. NOLLYWOOD IS A RELIGION FOR MANY PEOPLE ACROSS D GLOBE NOW NOT JUST NAIJA, SO PLEASE GENI AND OTHERS DONT DENEGRATE SOMETHING BUILT BY THOSE BEFORE YOU. AS FOR MANY JOURNALISTS THEY USUALLY DRINK, SMOKE AND GET HIGH WHILE WRITING SO IT COULD BE A CASE OF DRUNKEN JOURNALISM
Ur an ass 4 saying dt
Lol dat actually can be a name of a Nollywood movie true hahaahaha really funny
Whatever!!
Proud fool

My thoughts exactly... Genny of life!!! Graceful as always
Wat is der 2 blv? U all re twisting d whole tin, he thinks dat, her saying Nollywood is not like b4 instead of helping it 2 grow is bad. Punch did notin either. He just read meaning into wat she said. Everybodys opinion 2 himself.

Gene always knw hw to silent d media,d media cnt go further cos diers no proof she said it. After all its a newspaper interview not Tv interview.
#yawns next?!...
Linda stop using the word deny.. There is no proof she said that and besides the man could also be lying..Hian
Oh puleeeze she only took it back because way too many people attacked her. If they had supported her, she would have repeated it. I wasnt born last nite like Lil wayne rapped
GENEVIEVE! You are a very crafty sly chick. You obviously said something along those lines and that is why you can make the comment about the journalist saying what they want or interpreting the way they want. Proud fool. hoss
SHE IS A BIG dold faced liar. she definitely said it maybe she just didnt use those two words. she is only denying because even the blind so called fans who adore her all fired at her. thats all. she is a proud liar
Hooohaaaa!!!!!!!!! Ijiya!!!!!!

She's jst over hyped joor..wetin she dey act..uche jombo nd mercy johnson are better dan her!
Ok we await your next nollymovie then..
Wilheminna Moses, honestly speaking, you are an idiot. From the bottom of my heart, I think you are an imbecile constituting a nuisance all over the place. Sincerely, you are worthless than horse shit. . Bloody bigot!!
I am willing to bet that those were the exact words Ms Nnaji used to describe the industry that brought her fame and fortune. On realising her eff up, she got off her high horse and retracted her statement, hence her statement "wether true or false".. I dont know, but to me ,this is one seriously overated actress with a very huge ego.. Classism is the new racism and some Nigerian celebs have caught that bug..
jenny boo i love u. patoswife@gmail.com
I've given up on naija journalists, they write nonsense, misquote you, you give them releases and they still get it wrong which is difficult to imagine how that is even possible but it has happened so frequently. Big ones o, small ones oo, all na d same. A very big shame on all of them. They. Don't get sued for misrepresentation that why they take such liberties.
Beef
She is forgiven.
Crazy hair!
Genny is just denying what she said. After thought.
Where is crazy @Alicia who was busy fighting everyone here, putting up a fight for Genny?.
Ure d biggest fool @ anonym 10:51

Well that local bleached man mad sense and that's why she replied. Some of you and your rediculous comments
Genny, whether you said it or not,it is inconsequential simply bcos I LUV GENEVIEVE!
Thought some of u were bashing Genny, U are now automatically on her side????
People who want 2 get noticed like Mac Collins just spring up & make comments dat neva was.
Dts a lady speaking...a woman who hs brains,class n hs worked so hard fr her fame n fortune.Nt flash in d pans like Yobo's wife who leeches off her hubby's fame n wealth n hs no respect fr haslf or ha image.Ride on Queen Gen!
