Radio presenter and digital content creator Azziad Nasenya has finally broken her silence following weeks of speculation and a social media hiatus.
In a heartfelt message to her fans, Azziad expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received during a challenging period in her life.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a video of herself descending a staircase with a warm smile, captioning it: “I wish that I could give all of you a big hug. The love has been felt, fam. It’s overwhelming—thank you.” This post followed another video of her at the gym in Germany, where she captioned, “Work done, we try again tomorrow,” signaling her focus on self-care and mental health.
Her statement comes weeks after an online storm involving allegations made against her. While the details of the situation remain a topic of public speculation, Azziad has chosen to maintain her grace and focus on her well-being, stressing positivity in her interactions with fans.
In the midst of this, Azziad’s resilience and determination have shone through, something she touched on in a candid interview with Otile Brown’s ex-manager Noriega Donself in an interview that dropped on January 17th 2025.
The interview, which aired on Noriega’s YouTube channel Condors Cigars Conversations, offered a glimpse into the young star’s life, family, and evolving career.
During the conversation, Azziad opened up about how fame has impacted her life. She admitted that her biggest adjustment has been the loss of privacy, explaining, “I can’t walk in the streets like a normal person anymore.”
When asked about the pressures that come with a high-profile lifestyle, she firmly dismissed the idea of succumbing to external expectations.
“Once you’re famous, people expect you to live a certain way—to look and act a certain way—but that depends on you as an individual,” she explained. “For me, my lifestyle hasn’t drastically changed. I haven’t let pressure dictate how I live my life.”
Azziad also credited her inner circle—her manager, assistant, parents, and close family members—for helping her stay grounded through it all. “I always pray to God to never let me lose myself in all this. There’s no shortcut; you have to put in the work. Being kind and putting God first is key,” she said.
The discussion also touched on her popular online show, Shoe Game, which has been on pause. “Life happened, and I got busy, but we’re working on coming back bigger and better,” she assured fans.
Reflecting on her mental health, Azziad recently revealed on TikTok that she had been hospitalized for nearly a month, during which her doctor recommended she step away from social media.
“I wasn’t allowed to go outside or use my phone. My mental state had deteriorated to alarming levels, and I needed time to heal,” she said, urging others to take mental health issues seriously.
Wrapping up, Azziad shared an apology to anyone she may have hurt and highlighted the importance of self-compassion. “It’s been a rollercoaster year, but I’m learning to embrace the highs and lows. At the end of the day, it’s life,” she concluded.
