Even now, people still say some things to me, and I look and forgive them. Now they are telling me I work with juju because I am doing well.
The award-winning actress dismissed the claims, attributing her achievements to years of training, dedication, and an intentional approach to her craft. She explained that although her entry into the acting scene may have seemed sudden, her journey was far from effortless.
My entering into acting was kind of fast. But they don’t know where I started from... I am a perfectionist because I have to leave my mark. And before I leave, the mark will always be there for people to talk about it. I am very intentional about the things I do.
McBrown, who has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning acting, television hosting, and brand endorsements, remains one of the most respected figures in Ghana’s entertainment industry. Despite the rumours, she continues to focus on perfecting her craft and inspiring the next generation of creatives.
