Mercy Eke, the first female winner of the Big Brother Naija reality competition, remarked that those who didn't want to comprehend the work she put into her triumphs in the entertainment industry accused her of engaging in money laundering.

Eke appeared as a guest on Chude Jideonwo's television program #WithChude, where she talked about the accusations that the media spread about her and her life after Big Brother Naija.

She claimed that the accusations that she had engaged in money laundering were typical of the stigma that prosperous women in Nigeria face.

Mercy Eke, however, argued that these hypotheses are disrespectful since they ignored our women's efforts, sleepless nights, and toil to get where we are now.

“They will just take away all effort and tag it as someone is behind you. I am not saying it is bad to have someone behind, if you have a rich boyfriend, some people’s love language might be taking care of you, buying you nice things, and giving you money.

However, you will still work hard. They said I do money laundering; they have dealt with me in this industry. I came into this industry without no advice, just myself and my team and I started building brand.”
