Taaooma, the popular Nigerian skit maker and actress, revealed that she expected fame to come with a fair share of criticism from online trolls. She said she’s developed a thick skin to handle it.
The Nation reported a viral picture of Taaooma being carried by two of her colleagues, which sparked criticism from some quarters.
In a recent interview with Punch, Taaooma said she wasn’t surprised by the backlash and has learned to deal with such reactions.
She said: “I have been ready for things like that ever since I realised that I am popular. It is very normal for people to talk. Many people just take out their anger and frustrations on celebrities, and that is quite understandable. We are in the public eye, and things like that should not surprise us.
“That was an innocent photo I took with my colleagues, but a critic decided to create intentions for us. Things like that don’t surprise me anymore. They have said worse things in the past”.
