Nollywood actress, Destiny Etiko has reacted to rumour making the rounds that Captain Matthew Ekeinde, the husband of colleague Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, recently bought a car for her

“The last I checked, 99.9 percent of what I’ve achieved in my life I freaking did it myself with my full chest.

“I don’t know why some people are bitter,” she said.

The actress added, “Most of my birthdays I love to buy a car because I love to change cars every year. Some bitter people…sat down and brought pictures of Omotola’s husband that I took with him over four years ago.

“And how did I happen? I was on a flight and he was the pilot, so some people were snapping pictures with me. He asked what was happening and they told him I was an actress.

“He looked and I greeted him with (the) respect of a senior colleague’s husband. I asked him to let us take a selfie because of respect. We went there and took a selfie and that was it.”

Etiko said she had not crossed paths with Captain Ekeinde since then.

She said some never-do-wells, who are pained by her success, thought to channel it to a man, adding that those jealous of her success would remain stagnant.

“Leave the man in his house alone. Leave our beautiful legend Omotola alone. Leave the son alone,” Etiko warned her detractors.

“I’ve never met Omotola all my life. I only watched her growing up. I’ve never met her son all my life. The husband was on a flight and that was it,” she explained.
