Erica Says Some Men Wanted to Date Her for Clout, But She's Been Shooting Her Shot at Michael B. Jordan For Months.

Erica Says Some Men Wanted to Date Her for Clout, But She's Been Shooting Her Shot at Michael B. Jordan For Months.


In other news, Erica has learned that fame comes with many things, including a long list of men who want to date her for the wrong reasons.



The former BBNaija housemate opened up about the challenges she faced in her relationships after leaving the reality show. She revealed that some people struggled to move past her previous relationship, while others were allegedly interested in dating her mainly for the publicity and clout that would come with being able to say, "I'm the one dating Erica now." She said the attention made it difficult to know who genuinely wanted a relationship with her and who was simply interested in the fame and association that came with dating her.


(giving bombastic side eye like Laycon)



Her comments come as she continues to build her brand and navigate life after the BBNaija spotlight, where every relationship move is scrutinized by fans and critics alike.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.



The real reason Erica is speaking out now is not because she has suddenly found clarity about her past relationships. It is because she has been shooting her shot at Michael B. Jordan for months, sliding into his DMs, liking his photos, and even posting thirst traps she hopes he will see. She believes that by claiming men are only trying to date her for clout, Michael B. Jordan will finally take notice and think, "She is different. She is not like the others." So far, he has not replied, but she is convinced that if she keeps talking about how men use her for fame, he will eventually slide into her DMs to "save" her from the clout chasers. 


Edgar doesn't lie.
