My success not linked to men, says Destiny Etiko

Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko

Actress Destiny Etiko has said that her success and achievements are not linked to any man.

The 32-year-old said this in an interview with the Punch published on Saturday.

According to the actress, she works to make her money and get appreciated by people, she also took a swipe at people who believe she collects money from men.

She said: “It is funny because I work for my money and I get good endorsements. If it is easy for men to give one money, then go and collect money from men. I work, make my money, and some people appreciate me.

“I just got an endorsement deal with a Chinese company that deals in sanitary pads and baby diapers. When I achieve something tomorrow, people would say a man gave it to me. Let them keep talking. Even if I don’t achieve anything, it is still the same people that would say after all the films I have been acting, I have not done anything for myself. I don’t want to take it seriously.”

In an Instagram post on October 13, the actress said the secret to her success is “not giving excuses.”

“I attribute my success to this principle: I NEVER GAVE, TOOK ANY EXCUSE OR PROCRASTINATED,” she wrote.

On December 16, 2021, Destiny expressed her excitement over reaching a milestone as one of the top 10 Nollywood actors of 2021 according to Google.

In August, Destiny acquired a new house to celebrate her birthday.

She also acquired an SUV, which some critics claim was paid for by a sugar daddy.
