Princess Ekeinde, daughter of Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has spoken about the challenges of growing up in a famous family, particularly the pressure of living up to her mother’s reputation.
Speaking on The Chat Room, Princess said she is tired of being compared to her mother in terms of beauty, talent and status. She stressed that she wants to be recognised for who she is.
“People always compare me to my mum, whether it’s her status, beauty, or talent. It’s so annoying because, first of all, I’m not Omotola; I’m Princess,” she said.
She admitted that coming from a wealthy family has its benefits but noted that celebrity children also face challenges, including the responsibility of protecting their family’s image.
Princess also criticised the public’s tendency to control the lives of celebrity children, including their dressing, speech and choice of partners.
She described such expectations as frustrating, saying they sometimes make her feel that her life is no longer entirely hers.
