Idowu Philips, a seasoned Nollywood actress better known by her stage as Iya Rainbow, has spoken candidly about the challenges she encountered as a young, single mother raising her children.
The veteran talked about how happy she was when her son built her a house in an interview with Saturday Beats.
She defended herself, saying that because she spent her money on raising her kids, she was labelled a miser in Nollywood. She said:
“It was reported in the press at the time that I was the cheapest actress. I was previously known as ‘Iya Osumare,’ not ‘Iya Rainbow.’ Even in church, when everyone else was buying clothes and jewelry for the holiday season, I dared not.
