“It’s Distasteful, Insensitive And Quite Unprofessional” - Genevieve Nnaji Denies Calling Nollywood Mediocre

Genevieve Nnaji has finally reacted to an interview she supposedly granted Punch in which she was quoted as describing Nollywood as “bland and mediocre”.

The statement attracted heavy criticism from industry players. Reacting on her Instagram page, the iconic actress wrote:

“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.”
