Favourite asset

Chizzy values her hips and loves to flaunt them with her dresses. According to her, her dress style is casual and simple. She loves fitted and colourful attires which complement her dark complexion and help to flaunt her hips. But, Chizzy believes there’s a thin line between sexy and indecent as a result; you will never see her wear transparent clothing because she’s trying to be sexy.

Flavour

Apart from her job as an actress, Chizzy has also worked as a video vixen and this was what led to rumours about her dating the popular entertainer, Flavour.

And she seemed to fuel the rumour at some point when she posted a picture of herself and Flavour on social media. But she has since clarified things, stating that her relationship with Flavour is platonic and she’s doesn’t intend dating him or becoming his baby mama. According to her, she only featured in one of his videos and that’s how she got to know him.

Chizzy says she doesn’t even have his phone number and that she was actually contacted by his manager to be a part of the video. From what she heard Flavour had a specification for the type of a woman he wanted to act as the queen in the video and the manager had sent her picture to him which he approved of. And when she was contacted, she was quite excited about it because it was a new experience.

Chizzy also stated that when she came around for the video shoot; it was strictly a professional affair and immediately she was done with the shoot she had to leave for a movie location at Asaba. As a result, she didn’t have the time to hang out with him talk less of having a relationship

Hobbies

Apart from acting, Chizzy loves watching movies. According to her, she could watch movies all day and she wouldn’t know that her time was far spent. She claims the habit grew up with her and it hasn’t stopped even now that she’s an actress.
