Popular Nigerian teen comedian, Emmanuella Samuel, has finally addressed long-standing rumors surrounding her personal life.
In a recent interview with Premium Times, the 15-year-old clarified that several viral reports linking her to pregnancy and marriage were completely false.
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.”
Despite the speculations, Emmanuella noted that she chooses to stay focused on the truth and continues to live her life without pressure.
However, she confirmed that one of the widely discussed reports about her was indeed true—she built a house for her parents at the age of 10.
The comedian revealed that the project was born out of love and her desire to see her family live comfortably without worrying about rent.
She explained:
“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.”
