Judith Mazagwu, the controversial actress and
emerging porn star known as Afrocandy, in an interview with Entertainment Express revealed how her ex hubby forced her into becoming a pornography
movie actress.
She also
talked about her love for plastic surgery and reasons she likes exposing her
boobs and other sensitive parts of her body.
Why did
you go into pornography? Was it for money or to spite someone?
It was
just an idea that popped up in my mind. It wasn’t in any way to get back at my
estranged husband then. I’d been separated from my husband since 2007, but the
porn movie thing came up just around last year. I can say that money was the
primary reason because at a time after my husband left me in the US, I couldn’t
pay my house rent. So I went into it both because of the money and the fun.
So would
you say your desire for money has been met and have you made enough money from
porn movies?
You know
one thing, no matter how much one makes, it’s never enough. I still need more
money. As I’m talking to you now, a major distribution company has bought
the exclusive distribution right for that movie worldwide. I owe it all to God.
Really? Do
you acknowledge God in this?
Of course
I do. Who created me anyway? You think I don’t know who created me? I am a
Catholic and sometimes I do go to church. In fact, I went to St Leo’s Catholic
church last Sunday.
Did you
also dress your usual half nude to the church?
I dressed
my normal way and had this same crazy hairdo. No I didn’t feel out of
place. And this happens to be my birthday month so when celebrants were called
out to be prayed for, I also came out and the reverend father sprinkled holy
water on me and some entered my eyes. (laughing)
But your
lifestyle will definitely be frowned at in the society especially in Nigeria
here. How do you cope with negative reactions from people?
I owe
nobody any explanations. It’s my life and this is exactly how I wanna live it.
I’m having fun doing what I am doing. Let me tell you, if not for the joy and
satisfaction I found in showbiz, I might have died out of depression. So my
life style is my choice. There are those of us who are born to be in this game
and 20 years from now I still want to be in this game.
What about
your family, do they know about your lifestyle and how do they take it?
My family
doesn’t have time to start bothering about my life style. They are all busy
with their different lives and careers. In my family, we have two big
engineers, a lawyer and a doctor so come on they don’t have my time even if
they know. Moreover, my kids are my immediate family now.
And
what about your Kids, do they know about your lifestyle and how are they taking
the whole thing too?
I don’t
have to show my kids my bad movies. But the truth is that I tell them about it
somehow. I tell them ‘look, I’m doing some crazy stuffs but it’s all in the
game’.
So what if
any of them decides to follow mummy’s footstep?
No, no,
no. Not at all. They must get their education first. I’m not one of those
mothers that will give room to their kids to choose if they want to go to
school or not. It is mandatory that they go to school just like I did. I also
remind them that before this whole thing, I also got married and had them. So
if any of them chooses to follow my footsteps after achieving all these, then
the choice is theirs.
Do
you plan to quit this lifestyle anytime soon?
Not at
all. Why would I quit when I’m thoroughly enjoying myself. I just finished a
club tour in Ikeja. I get paid as much as N200,000 to appear in clubs.
Though some of the clubs are strictly for big politicians and it was exclusive.
Maybe I can consider quitting when I’m getting old and my body begins to
wrinkle. Though, I have plans to do plastic surgery if there is need for it.
But sincerely, I still want to to be in this game in another 20 years.
What would
you say inspired your sojourn into this your new trend of entertainment?
I was
sleeping in my house one night and a song came to me in my dream, I woke up and
told my kids about it. At this time, I was unable to pay my house rent and the
landlord was already threatening to evict me from his house. I knew I needed
help desperately. Along the line, I met a producer who offered to produce my
songs if I had good ones. Somehow I realized that as a beautiful woman I
shouldn’t be broke. So I recorded Ikebe na money and Lonely. When shooting the
video, I knew I had to do something extra ordinary so I removed my G string,
put it on top of the guy and began to wind my waist vigorously. Wow, that was what
started the whole frenzy. People went crazy and the whole phenomenon of Afro
candy was birthed.
Sometime
ago you were begging for money from fans on your facebook page for your
daughter’s school fees. Does it mean you don’t make enough money from your porn
lifestyle?
It was a
stunt. It’s all part of the game. My daughter actually refused to go to all the
other schools where she was offered scholarship but chose a particular one
which was very expensive. So part of why I did that was also to see if I can get
her to change her mind and attend the school I can afford.
Are you
saying you weren’t broke as reported?
Look at me
very well, do I look broke? I shop for all my clothes and shoes in America and
I don’t think a broke person can do that. Like I said, it was all part of the
game, you got to do what you got to do. If the stunt worked out, I would have
been happy because I definitely want the money. If not for anything, I’ll use
it to buy more wigs and hair extensions for myself.
Why the
decision to produce a porn movie?
I wanted
to do something different from the normal movies we see, I mean the so called
love movies without actions. I’m sure a lot of people are tired of all that and
need something different. People like me who doesn’t believe in such fakeness.
The movie actually has a storyline but I went the extra mile to make it
extraordinary.
Do you
believe in love?
Of
course, I believe in love but in a different way. My definition of love is
money. Any man that gives me money is showing me love and will surely get mine
in return. For instance, if a minister just comes and dumps dollars on me, I’ll
naturally fall in love with him. Money to me is the determining factor in love.
With this
kind of philosophy, do you still think of marriage?
Of course
I do. But it will be money marriage. My estranged husband is begging me to come
back but I don’t know if I will. As I’m speaking with you, he is the one taking
care of my girls back in the United States. He’s been begging and
promising to make up for the time we’ve been apart. But how can he do that? I
tell him I’m not the same woman he married but he says he doesn’t mind that he
wants me like that.
So are you
in love right now?
Yeah! He
is spoiling me with money and I love him. He’s the one paying my bills in this
hotel and it costs as much as 25k per night, including my other expenses.
Can you
tell us about him?
No. I
won’t mention his name.
Is he a
married man?
Nope. He
is a single guy, but not all these your yuppie guys with droppy pants,
hell no.
Can you do
straight pornography in movies?
Oh yes,
once I have chemistry with the guy .Yes I can be f----d for real. In my
movie, I stripped totally naked and had a guy fondle my boobs. It’s no big
deal.
What is
your philosophy of life?
To me life
is give and take. I don’t have to carry the whole world on my head. Life
to me is a roller coaster, it’s not that serious. That’s why when I see people
just taking life that seriously cursing and gossiping I’m like ah. So let me
live my life the way I want and I don’t interfere in yours. I believe in live
and let’s live.
