The movie producer, changed the game last year, as she debuted her first movie, Shanty Town.
Ini Edo opened up on the movie and her partnership with Netflix, and how much it cost her.
She revealed that it cost her tears and blood, as she sank her heart into it and fervently prayed about it.
Some months back, Ini Edo made a public appeal to American rapper and movie producer 50 Cent on his upcoming film about the convicted Nigerian fraudster Ramon Abass aka Hushpuppi.
Ini Edo appealed that 50 Cent should cast a Nigerian actor as the main character in the TV series Hushpuppi.
50 Cent, who had in the past produced hit TV series like Power, Power Book II, and Power Book III: Raising Kanan, said that he would make a story off Hushpuppi, and Ini Edo stated that casting a Nigerian actor for the role would be best.
In other news, Ini Edo had spoken out following Tonto Dikeh’s revelation about her true identity.
Tonto revealed that Ini Edo is stingy as she warned anyone in dire need of help to avoid asking for assistance from them.
In what seemed like a response, Ini Edo shared a cryptic post about destroying someone’s image.
