Nollywood actress, Felicia Fred has said she has changed her name to Fefe Reina and she did the announcement with a Cleopatra-Inspired photo shoot that got social media spreadeagled and awash with glowing comments.

Speaking with Potpourri, the beautiful actress said the change of name became necessary as she wanted to separate her private life from her new professional life, which is outside of acting.

“I’m a mental health therapist now and I want to separate my work name from the name I’m known with in the entertainment space. Felicia Fred is the entertainment personality while Fefe Reina is the mental health therapist. The meaning of Fefe Reina is “ Get scared of the queen”. I just have to do this photo shoot to celebrate the name,” she said.

The actress said she had a vivid image of what the shoot would be all about and noted that Cleopatra was not in the picture at all as the shoot was not inspired by the popular Egyptian queen.

The actress also noted that she is passionate about mental health because she went through depression and anxiety for two years.

“I didn’t even know the word “depression” then, it was my therapist that opened my eyes to it and she told me I would make a good therapist. In 2016 I suffered my first depression and it lasted for years. Later, after an encounter with my therapist I developed interest in it and started creating mental illness awareness, telling people no matter what they are going through they are not alone,’ she said.

The rapper emphasised that his passion for music supersedes the financial and social benefits.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going. Take the business and everything out of it, it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans,” Erigga said.

Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage has denied allegations of sabotaging other female artists in the music industry.

She challenged those accusing her of sabotaging her colleagues to mention their sources and come forward with evidence.

Recall that a few years ago Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani, accused Tiwa Savage of indirectly blocking her from performing at several shows.

Reacting in a recent episode of the Offair Show, Tiwa Savage explained that she was being wrongly accused of sabotaging the chances of other female artistes to get bookings, claiming that show promoters could be lying to other artists using her name.

“If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention names. Maybe the promoters are lying and using me, maybe they don’t want to book three, four girls. So, they claim I am the one blocking others,” Savage said.
