Reality TV star CeeC explained how fans judged and misunderstood her, saying many mistook her confidence for arrogance.
During a chat on the Echo Room podcast, she said that living in Nigeria can be challenging, adding that people often accept negative labels without knowing the person.
CeeC stated that this has affected her brand, with some people assuming she’s arrogant before even meeting her.
However, she stated that meeting her in person changes people’s perceptions, and she tries to give people a better understanding of who she is whenever they meet.
She said, “As I said, usually in Nigeria, where a lot of people follow the bad work. Like if somebody says Oh, this person is bad, people don’t even wait to experience you. They just, oh yeah, they say she’s a bad person.

“So people don’t actually get to know you. So yeah, a lot of people see my confidence as being arrogant.
“But I would say something that you cannot meet me in person or experience me as a person, and go home and say I’m arrogant. You would definitely have a change of mindset about me.
“So it has cost me a lot, because I hear some people say, oh, that one, she’s just arrogant. You don’t even know me, but that’s what you, you know, like.
“So it has, but one thing that I’ve tried to do is I make sure that when you meet me, when you give me the grace to get to know me, you will not go home feeling that way.”
