A new video circulating on social media captures the moment when popular Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing publicly apologized to the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) over her 2021 suspension.
Nkechi sought forgiveness at the Celebrities Entertainment Awards in Canada, following her suspension after a public dispute with fellow actor Lege Miami.
After the suspension, Lege Miami showed remorse and apologized, while Nkechi initially dismissed TAMPAN’s suspension and challenged their authority.
Both actors were indefinitely suspended from Yoruba movie sets after their heated exchange on Instagram escalated.
Nkechi Blessing initiated the online confrontation when Lege Miami appeared to sympathize with Baba Ijesha, who was facing accusations of sexual assault involving a minor at the time.

“If you must quit something this year, quit the habit of spoiling people’s names at their back and shining your dirty teeth when you see them.
