Despite being dragged by netizens over an age declaration, popular reality tv star and socialite, Mercy Eke, has insisted on being 30.
A couple of days ago, Eke exposed her voter’s card, which unfortunately exposed her age to be 32, and not 29 as she claims.
The celebrity tackled a couple of trolls who came directly at her. Her colleague, CeeC also jabbed at her and accused her of telling lies about her age.
In a recent development, Mercy put out a post insisting that she is turning 30 this year and not otherwise.
Using her social media page via Snapchat, she described herself as a “1993 baby”, stating that she would be turning 30 this year (2023).
Eke wrote: “1993 babies, we turning 30 this year. 3rd level about to bang I can’t wait, what to do? I’m definitely having a baby.”
