BBNaija’s DeeOne Urges Genevieve Nnaji to Embrace Her Age
DeeOne expressed his views via a video message shared on his Instagram account, where he challenged the popular notion that Genevieve is ageless. He argued that contrary to the widespread praise for her youthful appearance, Genevieve is naturally aging, and it’s important for her to accept it.
“Every time Genevieve’s video or picture comes out, people always say she looks so young. That’s a lie,” DeeOne asserted. He emphasized that makeup and carefully curated images can mask the signs of aging, but they do not change the reality. To truly gauge someone’s age, DeeOne suggested looking at less often showcased parts of the body, such as the back of the hands or legs.
“If Genevieve is truly young as claimed, I challenge her to post the back of her hands and legs,” DeeOne continued. “Madam Genevieve, you look your age. Don’t let them deceive you. Nigerians are deceitful.”
He further advised Genevieve to embrace her age and to consider taking on more age-appropriate roles in her acting career. “There’s nothing wrong with old age. Embrace it. Take up elderly people’s roles in movies. Play mother and grandmother roles,” DeeOne encouraged.
DeeOne’s comments have stirred a debate on social media about societal expectations of aging, especially for women in the entertainment industry. While some agree with his candid approach, others feel it’s unnecessary and disrespectful to highlight natural aging in such a manner. Regardless of the differing opinions, DeeOne’s message has undeniably brought attention to the topic of aging gracefully and the pressures celebrities face to maintain a youthful appearance.
