Reality show star Erica Nlewedim, known for her appearance on Big Brother Naija, caused a scene at a Nigerian airport after an official from British Airways allegedly downgraded her business class ticket to economy, News About Nigeria reports.
A video circulating on social media captured Erica screaming and shouting about the incident.
Erica stated that she had purchased a business-class ticket and arrived at the airport on time.
Despite this, she claimed that an airline official attempted to downgrade her seat.
In the viral video, Erica, who previously made headlines for her relationship with fellow BBNaija housemate Kiddwaya, vowed to create a scene at the airport.
She mentioned that people hadn’t witnessed her “madness” in four years and she was ready to display it publicly.
Erica also indicated that she would not stop filming the incident, despite airport staff attempting to calm her down and requesting that she stop recording.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Erica, who was disqualified from BBNaija, reflected on the sacrifices she made for her career.
She said, “For the past three years, I sacrificed my personal and social life. Even some friends were upset with me because I was not hanging out with them, as I am always busy. I have had to sacrifice relationships as well.”
Regarding negative social media comments, Erica shared her coping strategies: “As a human being, I have my good and bad moments. Sometimes, I could be in such a good mood that even if someone insults me, I would let it slide. In the past, I used to single out scapegoats. But, I am tired of doing that, so I just ignore them now.”
