The X user, while reacting to Rita’s feature in the Lekki Wives reality show, claimed that there are specific projects that the multiple award winner should outgrow.

But in a swift reaction Rita Dominic who starred in her first movie, “A Time to Kill” way back in 1988, noted that only people without artistic integrity can speak in that manner, and went ahead to challenge her colleagues in the film movie industry not listen to such people but apply themselves fully to any platform that offers them opportunity to unleash their creative energy.
Prime Business Africa reports that she particularly underscored the danger in listening to such people, adding that it could trigger ego that make a person believe he or she is bigger than the industry that brought them to limelight.
