But to her surprise, a fan responded saying celebrities were paid by Nigerian government to say coronavirus is real.

The actress who seemed infuriated by the comment wrote, “Covid-19 test is uncomfortable make I no lie. I was already in tears because this @NseIkpeEtim told me it was painful."

Taking to Twitter she revealed that she had blocked that follower adding "COVID-19 IS REAL!!."

Some1 now commented on my IG saying" all these celebrities that have been paid to say there is Covid, God will judge you "
If I land am better curse now shay they will say Kate has started again inside blogs.
