I’m that type that will get married and it may not be on social media,”, she told The Sun.

     

    Asked If she is considering going under the knife, Friday said:“I have got a natural, hot, sexy body fit for my career. I won’t go under the knife for any reason. I’m perfect just the way I am”.

    “2019 was the most challenging year ever, but super amazing. Solutions came all through my tough moments. Most importantly, my blessings were uncountable. 2020 is here and I’ll be buying a private jet. I have that feeling. It’s my money year. I have been doing ‘Chronicles of Ejiro’ for a while now. It was inspired by love for money. When you are a content creator, you will surely make money, almost immediately, or in the nearest future. I know I am very creative but I can never take a lesbianism or 100% nudity role,” she stated.

I have always loved the art, though I never planned to be an actress. I was active in drama and dance from childhood. I started attending auditions after my secondary school.
