BBNaija winner, Mercy Eke, has played down the rift said to be between her and a former housemate, Nengi.
She says they are so much on the same page that they are having a photo shoot in Paris, France.
”That we are not friends is not true. We are actually having a photo shoot in Paris together. So, if we are not cool, there wouldn’t be such an arrangement. Most times, it is the social media that is overdoing things,” se says.
In an interview with ‘The Nation’, Nengi also speaks on her ambassador and general business life.
She explains: “I am the newest brand Ambassador to Payporte. It is not about how many deals that you have, it is about longevity. It is about staying in the game. It is about having these brands. There is no brand that has said that Mercy we have issues with you. I see a lot of people online fallout with the brands that they work with and bring this to social media.
“I can beat my chest and say that there is no brand that I have worked with that I have ever fallen out with. That means that I know what I am doing. I carry the brands that I work with like my own brand. That is why I am very visible. All the brands that I am working with since I got out of the house; I am still working with them. I believe that
“Payporte must have seen that to have still come. We have been on this since 2019. So, my brand is what I say it is. A reputable brand and that is what it is.
” I have rejected a few brands, some of them signed but they didn’t come to terms with my conditions. It just didn’t work with me. I like brands that don’t like conflict. I like to work with all the ambassadors and we are there, they are paying us all this millions of naira to carry the brands to the next level. We have to bring value to these brands. But some of this brands trade off with conflict and they want to use the ambassadors to gain something. I don’t work with such brands. I like it when I am working with you and the atmosphere is calm. I can’t come for a shoot and we are sweating and at the end of the day, the whole thing would be in a mess.
“”I want my peace and I am still growing my brand. I wouldn’t want a situation where in future a brand would say she is difficult to work with. So, if I see that from the onset, before we announce it that would be a no for me. I usually ask who is on board, are we going to work as a family and all that. If it’s fine, then I am okay. This latest endorsement is good, the people there are cool.”
