In a series of tweet shared on her Twitter, the On-Air personality asked parents not to put pressure on her to be a role model. She continued that if a part of her life inspires anyone then they should be free to use it as a guideline to be better as she isn’t perfect and trying to figure out life also.
The tweet reads:
“guys, I gotta get this off my chest, pls stop calling me your role model, I am no ones role model, me sef I am looking for “role model.” The pressure of my kids’ love you and you are their role model has to stop. Raise your kids to see themselves as a work in progress.”
“If a part of my life inspires you, by all means use it as a guideline to be better, please I am also trying out this thing called life. “I am not perfect, I will disappoint you with no apologies. I disappoint myself too, the difference is I get up and move on.”
“I accept my flaws all, I am under no pressure to fit into your ideal of what perfection looks like, I am figuring me out too. Pls be inspired but don’t pressure me to be a ‘role model”, I love my loud, goofy, silly and witty self too much to submit to your standard.”
