Her
boobs may be one of the most frequent objects in the media; Nollywood actress and singer Cossy Orjiakor says she has
her restraints and moral lines she cannot cross.
This is the impression she gives in an interview with Punch Nigeria on Monday. According to
her, she cannot pose or act nude in any movie. Indeed, Even when reminded that her big breasts
appear to always be ‘on air’, she tries to convince one that the essential
portion of the boobs – her nipples – are always concealed.
But she has a reason why she will not throw off her dress for any fee: Her mother, with whom she says she maintains a very cordial relationship, has warned her against doing so.
But she has a reason why she will not throw off her dress for any fee: Her mother, with whom she says she maintains a very cordial relationship, has warned her against doing so.
She says, “I have a
cordial relationship with my followers on social media and I block people who
say negative things about me because I just don’t like the negative vibes. So
if people see a picture I took by 2 am and see it is offensive, then it is okay
by me. Truth is I have a very good heart and am very emotional to people I care
about. But no matter what I do, I always remember my mother’s advice that, no
matter what I do, I must never go nude in a movie or outside the set. I can’t
do anything for money if my comfort is at stake.”
The light-skinned act who embraced controversy with her half
erotic show in Fuji artiste, Obesere’s, music video, Apple Juice, has not been
active in Nollywood in recent years. She delved into music and says she is
doing well despite the fact that she has not been featuring in big shows. She
adds that she shares music experience with her mother.
“My mum actually has a
first degree in music from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and a master’s
degree in Mass Communication. I grew up amidst pianos and guitars in my
parents’ house and more so, my mum sings,” Cossy says.
“I have a studio in
the house and I have been told I have a good voice. My mum did not contribute
to the scoring of the songs on my album even though we were supposed to work on
a song together. She works with the Immigration Service so she has no time. But when we eventually do, it has to be a
very good song, probably a mother and daughter song.”
The busty actress that stared in 2009 film, Itohan, says the stress
of acting is too much compared to the money producer’s offer.
“I don’t know about
the other actors who say they get millions and billions but I remain a
realistic person. I can never go on the set of a movie if I don’t know the
producer no matter the money involved. I’m not doing music to compete with
anybody and I am not really looking to get all of these big endorsements
because I am in music for the love of it. Yes money is part of the reason why I
am doing music but during my launch I know how much my friends and relatives
paid to get my album. Even before the video came out I had made all the money I
spent 100 per cent over. I have been on tour in Lagos, Abuja and south Africa
and the reception is always cool. If I take pictures and talk about the places
I have been to, the whole city will run mad.”
Despite the bad press and negative publicity she regularly
gets, the actress’ life can be likened to an open book. She has
shared pictures of her parents and tastefully furnished apartment in Lekki on
Twitter, her broken sex toy, among many other personal raunchy details. How do
men relate to her in this light and does she have any hope of hooking any of
them?
“Most men notice my
boobs when they meet me for the first time,” she declares. “They touch each other, arguing whether or
not they are real. It will take a man with a lot of guts to walk up to me and
approach me. But I believe in marriage and hope to eventually marry and have
kids of my own.”
