In his words, "I haven't heard a lot from her lately, ever since I heard that she was a little disturbed; I don't know whether it's true. I hope that one day she calls me and says 'Look, I'm okay'. I won't try calling her again, I tried."

He hopes that she would personally tell him that she's doing better.

The stunning and talented actress has been incognito since March of 2022 after uploading cryptic posts on her page. Afterwards, there were reports that she was struggling with her mental health.

She soon deleted all her Instagram posts and unfollowed everyone before going off social media. The actress, however, showed up at the 2022 edition of the Creative Africa Nexus as one of the speakers of the events in November 2022.
