Published

Controversial Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has once again ignited her year-long beef with politician ex-lover, Opeyemi Falegan.

Speaking during an interview with TVC ‘s ‘Your View’ aired on Thursday, Blessing talked about her immediate past relationship and how it finally ended.

When asked if she still loved Falegan, the actress said she was “100 per cent” over him. According to her, she only got into a relationship with the politician in order to spite a previous lover.

Describing how she got into a relationship with Falegan, she said, “The thing is, he was the one that loved me more. It was the time that I was trying to level up to the love he has for me that he messed up.

“I recently broke out from a relationship with my ex that lived in America, and in the heat of the breakup, while we were still trying to fix things, he started posting a girl, covering her face.

“Then I realised there’s this man asking me out, okay, fine man. In all ramifications of people I like to date, he’s not 1–10. So that was me just trying to use him to get back at my ex – then I landed in relationship.”

Reacting to the interview, Falegan took to his Instagram page where he slammed the actress for speaking about him during the interview.

“This girl will never stop mentioning my name kilodeee? Once I have a reason to go, I will never find an excuse to come back. U no get content again?

“Attaching my name to yours is dysfunctional, just stop mentioning my name abeg, someone should please give her contents, she sounds really empty now,” he wrote.

Falegan and Nkechi got into a public war of words ealier in the year, as they announced the breakdown of their marriage.

Despite sharing pictures of her purported wedding back in 2021, Blessing stated after their break-up that she was never legally married to Falegan.
