Prior to this, Zainab during an interview with media personality Chude Jidweonwo in June, had addressed why she keeps her private life away from the public.
She asserted that a fuse between the industry and one’s personal life, without the awareness of the consequences can be quite problematic.
Speaking during the chat she said.“It was a deliberate choice because I am very conscious of the separation of power between the industry and myself, and when you dabble into all this without the consciousness of what the consequences are, it is quite problematic.
“My personal life is very personal. It’s not out for public consumption. That’s not my work, that’s my life”
