<h4>“I Never Planned To Act” — Stella Damasus Breaks Silence On Career Twist</h4>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife</a></strong> reports that Nollywood actress Stella Damasus has revealed that her journey into acting happened by chance, despite building her early dreams around music.</p>
<p>Speaking during an appearance on the Tea With Tay Podcast, the veteran actress explained that many people have misunderstood her range over the years, often assuming she is limited to a particular style of performance.</p>
<p>According to her, this perception — which once prompted subtle apologies as expectations from audiences boxed her in does not reflect her true capabilities.</p>
<p>She said her renewed presence in the film industry is driven by a desire to prove that she can deliver beyond what viewers have previously seen, noting that she wants to showcase “different sides of her acting abilities.”</p>
<p>Damasus disclosed that acting was not her first passion. After moving to Lagos at the age of 15, she focused on music and actively pursued a singing career.</p>
<p>She performed at Jazzville in Yaba and also worked at Klinx Studios, where she developed her vocal skills through backup singing and recording jingles.</p>
<p>With guidance from mentors in the music industry, she believed strongly that “her future would be firmly rooted in singing.”</p>
<p>However, her transition into acting came unexpectedly. She recounted how a friend convinced her to attend an audition in Ikeja on a day she had no plans of leaving the house.</p>
<p>At the time, she was living with her sister in Surulere and had not prepared for such an opportunity. That spontaneous decision eventually marked the beginning of her acting career.</p>
<p>Beyond her professional life, Damasus also spoke about her family, describing her children as her “greatest support system.”</p>
<p>She emphasized the “strength and unconditional love they provide,” adding that she believes “<em><strong>her children were given to her by <a href="https://openlife.ng/">God</a> with the understanding that they would stand by her through life’s challenges.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Now back in the spotlight, the actress is focused on redefining how audiences perceive her and expanding the scope of her work in Nollywood.</p>
