http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/entertainment/Nollywood-actress-visits-Jamaica_12345641What are your fashion must-have?
I spend all my money on handbags and shoes. I have hundreds of pairs and shoes, they are falling over. I have a walk-in closet, my husband was gracious enough to do that for me.
Who's your style icon?
Kim Kardashian. She has my body type so it's easy for me to relate to her. It has nothing to do with her person as I don't particularly like her but I love the way she carries herself. She understands her body and knows what works for her body. The clothes never wear her, she wears them.
Who's your favourite designer?
I am leaning a lot towards Roberto Cavalli. I am a very loud person and I like a lot of animal prints and colours, he's very va-va-voom and designs for curvy women. When it comes to shoes, every girl loves Louboutins and red is my best colour, so what's not to love? I also love Steve Madden because I'm a rock chick.
What fashion trend do you think should die?
Truly, I don't think any trend should die because I think there is fashion for everybody. What would not look good on you would look good on somebody else because of their body type. I've made mistakes in the past because I wasn't dressing for my body, I was focused on the labels. I think there is a dress for everybody because some dress that you think is awful, some other girl might wear it and you're like 'Damn! That's not bad after all".
Who does your hair?
In Nigeria, two guys style my tresses. I have a guy, Ola, who is my hop-up guy so wherever I am in some part of Nigeria, he can hop on the plane and come do it. But when it comes to the salon and the big boy, there's Ugo, who operates the Make Me Beauty salon in Lagos, which is the first Hollywood-type salon.
Who does your nails?
Everybody does them. I'm always on the move so it's hard to have just one person. I have three girls who come to me in Nigeria. I don't go to salons... they come around.
Music, you say, is your first love. What's happening there?
Oh, my cross! Music is where my heart is and it's the irony I'm having to struggle with. I have a second album that I completed. I haven't released it yet though that's how finicky I am. My first album was really big even though the pundits and haters don't want to accept it. There was a song that was so popular called Ba. My first album was pop, but the second is going towards what I originally wanted to do which is rock.
Who are your rock inspirations?
I love the whole works...classic rock, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Phil Collins. I don't do heavy metal .
Which musician would you like most to record with?
I met him recently actually. I don't go to concerts because I don't like crowds. The only two persons I would go to see in a concert are Bolton and Beyonce. I saw Bolton in Los Angeles, I was so busy but I said lock my schedule, I don't care if I get fired, I am going to go and because I was so interested they moved mountains. The PR people told him and he said he wanted to meet me before the concert. I couldn't believe myself, I was a mess, I was like giggly and trust me, I am not someone who gets starstruck and I became a jelly and he kept hugging me and I was like 'Omotola, get it togeteher'. That's how much I like him. I like Phil Collins too but I wouldn't act that way because he's not sexy.
