I disguise my looks
Lepa Shandy also said she does not wear makeup so that Nigerians in the diaspora would not recognize her as the celebrity that she is.
During the interview, she stated an incident when she had to run away from a store because she heard someone singing Baba Ara’s song.
Her reason for disguising her looks was because Nigerians do not mind their business.
In her words:
For instance, when I moved abroad, I didn’t want people to recognise me and I don’t also like staying around our people because they don’t mind their business. I sometimes don’t use make-up so they won’t recognise me.
