While speaking during a recent interview on the Echo room, she said;
"Yes, like I said, especially in Nigeria where a lot of people follow the bad wagon like if somebody says 'Oh this person is a bad person', people don't really wait to experience you, they just say oh, they say she's a bad person', so she a bad person' so people don't actually get to know you so a lot of people see confidence as been arrogant but I will tell you something that you cannot meet me in person or experience me as a person and go home and say am arrogant....
You would definitely have a change of mindset about me so it has cost me a lot cause people just hear and say 'oh that one, she's arrogant', you don't even know me so it has but one thing I've tried to do is I make sure that when You meet me, when you give me the chance to get to know me, you would not go home feeling that way.
And then you just assume that you know me and if you watch me from a distance, you would conclude that maybe am snobbish, arrogant, and all of that because am a quiet person
The mean face doesn't mean am a mean person, am just quiet, so even when am not saying anything, minding my business, trust me, am battling my anxieties, or being shy but if you see that from a distance, you would assume that she's being mean or she doesn't wanna talk to us so people don't give me grace to get to know me and one thing am grateful for is how I was raised.
I was raised not to allow these things to get to me
If you feel give me a chance, you would find out that am not actually what you think but if you don't wanna give me a chance, na your business o".
Don't mind them,beautiful Ceecee. People of your height,have superiority complex,my first daughter is a typical example. 🤪🤪🤪

DeleteCece, I like you but you are arrogant. We can't forget how you spoke to those you thought were beneath you any how. Self confidence is not offensive. Arrogance is.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this is just me too. People judge from a distance without ever giving you a chance. Once they see you quiet, they label you arrogant, snobbish or ‘forming’. Meanwhile, some of us are just shy, minding our business and battling our own anxieties. Anyone who actually meets me in person always ends up saying I’m nothing like what they heard. So I understand this completely.
ReplyDeleteCeecee please
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this whole conversation sits on a thin line that people rarely admit exists. Confidence is healthy, yes. But the moment it becomes a reflex — loud, unchecked, unexamined — it slips into arrogance without the person noticing. That’s the danger. Arrogance doesn’t always announce itself; sometimes it grows quietly out of habits we’ve normalised. And because overconfidence feels empowering, people often mistake their own excesses for strength instead of recognising the blind spots they’re creating.
ReplyDeleteSo while public perception can be unfair, personal behaviour isn’t always innocent either. Self-awareness is the missing ingredient here. Without it, anyone — celebrity or not — can cross that invisible line and start confusing entitlement for confidence. And once that happens, even genuine humility begins to look like an act of arrogance. That's the table on which Cee C is standing. She needs to learn how to self-regulate.
You be confident and still be humble
