Ever since, Wema says, she has lived under intense burning heat of being famous, something that has occasionally affected her mental status.
“Since 2006 to date it’s always been a pressure for me. Many bad things are always said about me, and so little of my success or good. Most people always tend to think that I am weak but if they were in my shoes, they would have died a long time,” Wema said in a recent interview with Clouds TV.
However, Wema, who is known for being open about her life, said despite being courageous, there have been moments where she has almost tripped.
