“Poor person pikin dey go Madonna University?’ – Nigerians drag Ashmusy as she breaks down in tears recounting her poor background

Nigerians have been dragging popular content creator and model Amarachi Amusi, known as Ashmusy after she spoke about her poor background.

During an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, on the With Chude’s show, Ashmusy revealed that she lived in a very poor condition. She lived in a one-room apartment with her mother and 20 other people.

Ashmusy also disclosed how she borrowed hair and other things to make her appear bigger than she is. She attended almost 100 auditions, including the Big Brother Naija show, which was not fruitful.

The curvy beauty denied having sexual relationships to gain favours from anyone, including famous Nigerian politician Dino Melaye.

“This was such an emotional interview.

Ashmusy has seen hell from the media and the comment section – they have questioned her talent, questioned her source of income, questioned her wealth, questioned her morals… and just thinking about all of the attacks she has had to endure, she broke down in tears on our set.

She had to consciously change her dress sense, she tells me because that was one of the reasons she was being stereotyped.

Yet Amarachi Amusi is one strong woman – and she continues to conquer.

Yes, her father didn’t provide for them when she was a child. Yes, her mother had to endure loan sharks to care for her children.
Yes, Ashmusy had to borrow hair to pretend to be one of the ‘big girls’ in school, and yes she had to borrow hair to start her own business. Yes, she went for over 100 (!) auditions – including Big Brother – and was not successful in any.

But, she says, she built everything by herself. There was no sugar daddy, there was no ‘runs’, no there was no cutting corners. She pulled herself up from nothing to the multiple successful businesses she owns – and, she tells me… she is just getting started.

A boss lady, WithChude today.”

Following the emotional interview session, Nigerians took to Chude’s comment section to bash the entrepreneur for ‘lying’ about her poor background despite attending a very expensive private institution in Nigeria.

I know a Woman who told us how she sells her wrappers and household items just to send her 2kids to Madonna, one Medicine and the other pharmacy. She was telling us how they mocked her in the village cos she always owe dues and all. And now her kids are living in Lekki with her. This life no balance”
