MAUREEN WARUINGE ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALIST

13 September 2022

• Tanasha said she has a problem with bloggers using clickbait.

• Tanasha made headlines, and insinuated she would not do interviews anymore.

Over the weekend, Tanasha Donna joined a host of Naija actors and actresses for the premiere of the movie, 'Symphony', her acting debut.

Speaking to Mpasho's Kalondu Musyimi, Tanasha gushed about appearing in several scenes in the movie.

"I think I got a round three or four scenes. I really loved every single scene. I'm so excited. This is fun for me."

Tanasha missed a private screening of the movie in Lagos explaining that she was in Europe at the time.

Miss Donna also expressed hope that she will feature in more movies. "Why not, for now, I can't predict the future," she said.

During the interview, Tanasha also hit out at bloggers for what she calls 'twisting facts about her.

Just recently, Mama Naseeb made headlines and insinuated that she wouldn't do interviews anymore. Was there any truth to this?

"I didn't say I won't do interviews anymore. I had a bad experience with a blogger who had been begging me for an interview for some time and I didn't want to come off as full of myself and whatnot. So I accepted to do the interview and send me questions and bear in mind 90 percent of those questions seem like they were revolving around my craft you know."

Adding;

"And there was this one question that popped up about surgery and whatnot and they used that as clickbait and they used something controversial as clickbait. I felt it was like a lack of respect."

The 'Gere' singer told Kalondo that this made her unhappy and is well aware that the internet likes controversy.

"And this is why I mentioned bloggers like Millard Ayo. When you look at what they are posting it's just a whole lot of positivity and you don't see them doing the controversial nonsense that a lot of blogs do especially. And I'm not saying all blogs there are so many blogs out there by the way that I vibe with."

The former model also explained that she is cautious because of how people twist facts.

"That are really journalists who I feel like are really genuinely interested in my craft, not controversy, who I'm dating or what not because I feel like there is way more to me than that and I'm a creative and it's high time that people start to channel their focus towards that."

Tanasha confessed that she was aware that her personal life is what most people are interested in but urges fans to focus on her trade.

"I'm very selective of what goes out on my social media I usually say that my social media is strictly for my music a bit of my lifestyle and fashion and endorsement."

However, Tanasha is now working on engaging more with her fanbase.

"There is so much more to me than; that I'm an entrepreneur, I have small businesses that I don't post on social media, I have a company that I registered that I don't post on social media. I don't post my whole life on social media, you see me posting my son twice a year sometimes.

It's a work in progress and I still wouldn't tell people to expect my whole life on social media that's just not me I'm actually a very private person and I like to still guard that privacy to some extent, it gives me peace."
