Teen comedienne Emmanuella Samuel has addressed rumours that have circulated about her over the years.
In an interview with Premium Times, the 15-year-old revealed that many stories about her personal life, including claims of pregnancy and marriage, were untrue.
Naijaonpoint reports she explained that despite the false reports, she focuses on the truth and continues to live her life without pressure.
She said: “There are lots of rumours out there. I have heard a lot, but I know the truth. There’s one where they said Ella was pregnant, that I was getting married, that I had married, etc., which are all false. There are so many unspeakable rumours, and sometimes I wonder where they come from.”
Emmanuella confirmed that one of the discussed reports about her was true, specifically that she bought a house for her parents at the age of 10.
She said the decision was born out of love and a desire to see her family live comfortably without the burden of rent.
According to her, the project was aimed at making her parents proud and putting smiles on the faces of people around her.
She revealed that she is the fourth child in a family of six and expressed that she never felt pressured to take the step.
She said; “The reason or motive was to make my parents proud, making everyone around me happy, no matter what; even if I was sad, I would make sure I put a smile on everyone’s face. I sensed it wasn’t right for my mummy to be staying in a rented apartment, that my family couldn’t be staying in such an apartment, so we came up with the idea of building a comfortable place where they wouldn’t be paying rent.
“That’s how building the house came about. There are six of us in my family. I’m the fourth child. I did it (built the house) out of love. I don’t feel any pressure.”
