Beverly Osu, the actress and model, recently divulged the reasons behind her decision to leave university on an episode of “The Discourse With Ken.”
Beverly recounted her early days in the entertainment industry, balancing her role as a video vixen with her academic pursuits.
Her educational experience at Babcock University was initially smooth until she faced backlash for her on-screen appearances.
“In Babcock University everything was nice and education was going well but because I was on TV at the age of 16 as a video vixen.
“Nigerians did not understand the term video vixen then so they always used to criticise me and take pictures to school. I used to get in trouble in school every weekend, and I mean every weekend,” she said.
The turning point came when she decided to prioritize her burgeoning career over academia. “I just felt that let me leave before it gets sour, you know how Babcock is, it’s very strict for lack of a better word. I left because I felt so comfortable doing what I was doing and I knew I could balance it, so I left.” she explained
Beverly also touched on her family’s reaction, particularly her mother’s initial disappointment.
“My mum didn’t believe that I left and she was like ‘After all the money I paid.’ We had struggled back and forth because of it but at a point, she just knew that ‘This girl is determined and Ada would do what Ada wants to do.’ I strived because I knew that modelling was it for me,” she concluded.
