Princess Ekeinde, daughter of popular Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has spoken about the pressure of constantly being compared to her famous mother and the expectations associated with growing up in a prominent family.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that Princess made the revelation during an appearance on The Chat show.

She explained that while children from wealthy and influential families may enjoy financial privileges and access to opportunities, they also face personal struggles that are often overlooked by the public.

According to her, being the first child and first daughter in her family comes with the responsibility of protecting the family’s reputation and upholding the legacy established by her parents.

Princess also lamented that people frequently compare her with her mother in terms of beauty, status, achievements and talent, while constantly asking whether she intends to pursue an acting career like Omotola.

Speaking on the show, she said:

“Us, nepo babies. Yes, it is good that we were born with a silver spoon; trust me, we have our struggles. People don’t actually see the struggles we face, but we have our own struggles.

“For me, it’s trying to keep my family legacy. You know, as the first child, the firstborn, and the first girl, the mantle is on me to represent my family and position myself and my family in the best light.

“People are always comparing me to my mum, whether it is status, beauty, or talent. People ask me if I am going to be an actress like my mother. And it’s so annoying; first of all, I am not Omotola, I am Princess. Let’s get this straight.”

Princess further explained that her mother ventured into acting because of her personal passion, stressing that her own career choices should not automatically be expected to follow the same path.

She added that being born into a famous family can sometimes deprive children of the freedom to live their lives without public scrutiny, as people often feel entitled to dictate their decisions, including their careers, dressing and relationships.

She said:

“Secondly, my mummy went into acting because that’s what she is passionate about. How are you sure that’s what I want to do with my life? At some point, your life no longer becomes your own. You share so much of your life with these people, and you feel like they own you.

“They own what you do, what you say, how you dress, the people you date. It’s ridiculous; there is a lot of pressure.”

The actress’s daughter also highlighted how Nigerian society often associates the actions of children from prominent families with their parents, rather than viewing them as individuals.

According to her, when children of celebrities make mistakes, the public often identifies them by their parents’ names, placing additional pressure on them to avoid damaging their families’ reputations.

She explained that instead of being recognised as Princess, individuals are frequently labelled as the daughters or sons of famous personalities, making it difficult for them to establish their own identities.

Princess noted that the fear of bringing shame or negative publicity to her family adds to the burden of growing up in the public eye.

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has reacted after popular TikTok stars Peller and Jarvis asked her to become the godmother of their unborn child during a livestream.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that the request was made during a conversation between the singer and the social media couple, who recently announced that they are expecting a child together.

Responding to the request, Tiwa Savage said she would need to pray and seek God’s consent before deciding whether to accept the role.

The singer explained that she believes God should be consulted before making important decisions, stressing that she would want to be certain the request aligns with His will.

She said, “Godmother, let’s think about it. You know what, what I really should do is pray about it because I need to ask God His consent. You know, in everything, we have to go to God in everything we do. So you have to go to God and ask Him first. So, and if God says no, then I don’t know.”

Meanwhile, Peller has advised Yoruba and Igbo people to consider marrying partners from other ethnic groups instead of restricting their choices to people from their respective backgrounds.

According to the TikTok star, Yoruba people who marry fellow Yoruba people and Igbo people who prefer partners from their own ethnic group could be missing out on the benefits of relationships with people from different cultural backgrounds.
