Osu made the revelation while speaking on a recent episode of the Chacha’s Couch podcast, where she reflected on her journey in the entertainment space and the struggles that come with it.
According to her, the amount of work she has put into building her career should have made her extremely wealthy, not just in Nigeria but across the African continent.
“I have worked so hard, my portfolio is enough to make me a billionaire, not just in Nigeria but in Africa,” she said.
While noting that she considers herself a humble person, Osu insisted that her body of work speaks for itself.
“I am a very humble person, but I know that my portfolio is enough to make me a billionaire,” she added.
The actress also explained that her journey in the entertainment industry has involved exploring several roles and opportunities over the years.
From working as a luxury model to appearing as a video vixen, participating in reality television, and eventually building a career as an actress, Osu said she has paid her dues.
Despite these efforts, she lamented that the financial rewards have not matched the level of work she has invested.
Osu stated that her experience has pushed her to continue advocating for better pay within the industry.
“So, I am fighting for better wages. I have tried different facets of the entertainment industry. From being a luxury model to video vixen to reality TV star and now actor. I have paid my dues,” she said.
