Curvy Nollywood actress, Damilola Oni, has revealed that she frequently receives explicit messages and unsolicited images from male followers who admire her.
She made this known recently during a candid interview uploaded to Oyinmomo TV on Saturday.
While raising concerns over persistent online harassment, the thespian also spoke about her career and personal experiences in the entertainment industry.
According to her, the situation has become a disturbing routine, particularly on social media, where male fans sexualise her due to her physique.
“Early in the morning, when I open my Instagram, men will send me their manhood, saying ‘I am everything you need, baby.’ All sorts of messages are in my inbox from different men, including elderly men,” she said.

She added that some individuals go as far as making inappropriate confessions about how they engage with her content. “Some will even say they watched me on TV and used me for self-gratification,” she stated.
Speaking further, Oni confirmed she is currently single and reflected on the challenges within the entertainment industry, noting that visibility often outweighs talent.
“I am very single. For a long time, the loud ones have excelled more than the talented. You have to spice it up because that’s what will make you relevant. The people who are supposed to excel and become famous are often not the ones we hear about,” she said.
The movie star also recounted a difficult experience on a film set, where she was allegedly dropped from a lead role due to a colleague’s refusal to work with her.
Despite these setbacks and the ongoing harassment, the actress maintained that she remains determined to succeed in the industry.
