Nigerian actress Motola Odunsi has reportedly been announced dead.

In a brief shared on popular social media blog Famzstazs, it stated that the movie star had passed on.

While details surrounding the rumoured tragic passing of the indigenous star are yet to be known, fans and netizens have begun mourning her online.

In a 2024 interview with Vanguard, the actress admitted that she frequently receives unexpected and sometimes uncomfortable texts from admirers, particularly younger guys.

“I get many embarrassing messages.The most surprising ones come from underage guys asking me out and calling me romantic names. It’s obvious they’re too young, so I just ignore them.”

When asked whether it is tough for actresses to find love, Omotola admitted that it could be difficult owing to public image.

"People often believe that we are the characters we play in films, but that's a misconception; our roles don't define who we truly are."

The actress also expressed an eagerness to play a variety of characters, including a profoundly in love 'lover girl', a streetwise 'tout', and an 'aggressive housewife'.

Omotola, a protégé of Nollywood actress Odunlade Adekola, said at the time that she aimed to add diversity to her craft.
