Actress and filmmaker Princess Shyngle has sparked conversation online after sharing a surprising message on her Instagram story. The Gambian-born star revealed that there are talks about a planned protest by some African Americans targeting African-owned businesses in the U.S.
According to her post, the protest is reportedly set for August 1, 2025, with the aim of boycotting these businesses. However, the reason behind the alleged protest remains unclear, and no formal group has come forward to confirm it.
Princess Shyngle appeared puzzled by the idea, writing, “So, African Americans are staging a protest on August 1st to boycott all African businesses in America. Why wait till August 1st though? Y’all can start now.”
The statement has left many wondering what’s fueling the supposed movement, while others are calling for more clarity and verification.
Meanwhile, in a more lighthearted throwback, Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede recently opened up about how she unexpectedly landed a role in 2Baba’s classic African Queen music video.
Speaking in an interview, Yvonne shared that she actually wasn’t interested in the offer at first. At the time, she was laser-focused on building her acting portfolio and didn’t see herself as a video vixen.
“I didn’t even take it seriously when they called,” she said. But what started as a casual pass eventually became one of the most iconic appearances in Nigerian pop culture.
Funny how life works, isn’t it?
