What does sex mean to you?
Sex is just a natural thing; it’s something everybody loves to do once in a while. Everybody has sex.
How do you feel being tagged a porn star?
I’m enjoying it. Since they see me as a porn star. Okay! I’m a porn star, the only porn star in Nigeria. I’m fine with it. But I’m only asking anybody who is calling me a porn star, to please show me any porn movie I’ve done before now. This is because I haven’t watched my porn before.
What about your daughters?
They know. They read all the comments on the internet and they laugh at our backwardness and ignorance as Nigerians.
Do you mean those sex scenes on screen are not real?
I never answer that question. The press have been trying to make me open up. But I never did. Even my sponsors don’t know how it was done. I played those roles perfectly that you can’t tell if it’s real or fake.
Why are your movies not endorsed for viewing in Nigeria?
They don’t need to be endorsed, endorsement is just in writing. My movies don’t need to be endorsed for viewing.
What are you working on presently?
Like I said earlier, I’m working on my epic movie, Queen of Zamunda, and that’s why I’m in the country. I’m also in the studio recording new song tracks. I’m going to blow people away with it.
Are you still playing music?
I took a break to concentrate on my movie project, Destructive Instinct. The last track I did was No time for Haters. Soon, my video Juju Woman will be on air. I’m coming back because I see that a lot of new girls are really working hard to take over from me.
How did you come about the name, Afrocandy?
I started answering the name when I got to the United States. I was usually referred to as Eye-candy. Most Nigerians over there thought I was American. Later, I thought about it, that since I was regarded as an eye-candy to most people, especially Africans in diaspora, I could go with the name African Candy. That’s how Afrocandy came about.
Any memorable experience as an actress?
The only experience I had so far was when some guys would start jerking off while talking to me on the telephone. Even some men would call me and start negotiating how much they would pay to have sex with me. I would just start laughing at them. Men are like babies, little things get to their brains. I’m in showbiz, so I just do things to entertain people. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re open to everybody and you want to have sex with every Tom, Dick and Harry. No, it’s not a national cake. All I do is entertain, so that when you see it, you feel good.
Which part of your body is the sexiest to you?
To me, my whole body is sexy. I don’t have any specific part I’ll say is the sexiest.
Did you enhance your boobs?
I’ve always been like this.
Would you say life has been fair to you?
I’ve been through hell right from my mother’s womb. I was born a twin. My twin sister was killed when we were young by my father’s tenant. She couldn’t kill me because I was too strong for her. She avoided me like a plague. Life hasn’t been easy, but no matter what, I still thank God that we are still breathing. I believe it will get better.
Do you find fulfilled being an entertainer?
Yes, at least I’m doing what makes me happy. Don’t let anybody censor or define your lifestyle. I just do what I feel like doing. I don’t care if people like it or not. But I know they’ll start liking it later. A time will come when people will have no choice, than to accept you the way you are. It’s better than being a fake. Which of your films do you consider as most successful and rewarding to you? It’s Destructive Instinct . The film has broken a lot of new ground. I’ve done some low budget movies which I produced with other film makers. So, I wasn’t given full credit to those movies.
