Popular actress, Mercy Aigbe has stated that for a long time, she
had a crush on ‘African Queen’ singer, 2baba (formerly 2face Idibia).
Aigbe stated this during the week as a guest on Gbenga Adeyinka’s
Instagram Live chat. After Adeyinka played ‘African Queen’ while on the
video call, Aigbe said with a broad smile, “Don’t tell anybody o. For a
very long time, I had a crush on 2baba.”
The fashionable role interpreter also stated that before she got into
the industry, she admired Liz Benson and Sola Sobowale. She said,
“Coming into the industry, there were two people I admired a lot— Liz
Benson and Sola Sobowale. Liz Benson was just so beautiful and she still
is. I absolutely loved her back then. I also loved the way Sola
Sobowale interpreted her roles. She inspires me whenever I see her on a
movie set.”
Describing the first encounter she had with Sobowale, Aigbe said,
“Before I got into the industry, I admired Sola Sobowale because she
knows her onions. One day, I got a call to come on set for a movie
titled, ‘Ohun Oko So Mi Da’.
“The movie was produced by Aunty Sola and I was shivering when I got to
the set. I asked myself, ‘Would I be able to act in the presence of my
role model?’ I went to a corner and prayed to God and told myself, ‘This
is my opportunity. I shouldn’t allow Aunty Sola overshadow me. I should
let my star shine.’
“Unfortunately for me, in that particular scene, I wasn’t meant to talk
at all. I acted the role of her husband’s secretary and was dating her
husband. She came to my character’s house to warn her. I was not
supposed to say anything but I thought that as an up-and-coming actress,
she would just kill my ‘star’ if I didn’t say anything. Guess what I
did. I gave myself lines. As she was ranting, I was reacting to her
rants. When she held me, I put my hands inside her brassiere. She just
told the director to end the scene at that point, asking where they
found ‘this kind of girl’.”
