September 11, (THEWILL) – Reality show star, Bisola Aiyeola, has opened up about the insults she got as a single mother.
Speaking about the negative perceptions and remarks, Aiyeola said, “I have had some experiences with total strangers, people that don’t really know me and you are having a conversation with them and they are asking me what I know just because I am a single mum.
“People will call you names; neighbours will say all sorts of things and to your face too. They will say things like: “That’s why you are not married; that’s why you had a child out of wedlock.
“I have had situations where people talked down on me because of that, but I am also a kind of person who doesn’t get bothered about other people’s perception.
“They can say whatever they like about me, but I believe firmly in myself and I have told myself that what I believe in is what matters. Gone are the days when people’s words got to me. I am more focused on being an amazing mum and an amazing artiste right now.”
Aiyeola has made quite the name for herself.
She entered the entertainment industry in 2006 and appeared on the reality TV show Project Fame West Africa in 2008.
Since then she has gone on to star in a number of movies, record a number of songs, appear on Big Brother Naija and also be a television host.
Bisola is unstoppable, yet still she faces people who try to discredit her or water down what she has done, often because of two reasons: 1) Because they attribute all of her success solely to Big Brother Naija, and 2) Because she is a single mother.
During a new interview with the New Telegraph, Bisola opened up about her feelings on both of these topics and she spoke very candidly and honestly.
