Veteran Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji takes up a new hobby and has taken to her social media pages to share her new passion with her fans and followers.
The young Grandma shared a video clip of herself doing an artwork painting, the actress seemed to have picked up on the new art after spending so much time alone during the COVID-19 lockdown.
She captioned her post writing Nobody, then Me with a painting palette in front of it. We infer that she means that’s what she does now during her downtime with nobody around.
