Cynthia Nwadiora, better known as Cee-C from Big Brother Naija, has shared why she thinks she struggled to make it in Nollywood after her rise to fame on the reality show.
Cee-C, who became well-known after finishing as the first runner-up to Miracle Igbokwe in the 2018 Big Brother Naija, said that the sudden fame from the show can make it hard for contestants to form the connections they need to succeed in Nollywood.
She said, “One of the disadvantages of coming into fame through Big Brother is the fact that it’s quick. You’re nobody today, and then tomorrow you go on the show, and then you come out, and then they know you. You’ve not been able to build relationships you need to survive in the industry.”
