Former BBNaija housemate and actress Erica Nlewedim is standing her ground after being roasted online for her cooking skills — or lack thereof.
The reality star recently shared a photo of her homemade Efo Riro (vegetable soup) on Snapchat, but fans were quick to drag her over the appearance of the dish, calling it everything from “experimental” to “unrecognizable.”
Not one to take the criticism lying down, Erica took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the backlash:
“They are insulting my cooking on Snapchat. I’m not playing anymore — I’m back here. It’s Eforiro and I followed all the steps on YouTube,” she tweeted.
In a bold clapback, she added:
“Beyoncé doesn’t know how to cook and she’s still a success.”
The comment sparked even more reactions online, with some fans defending Erica’s right to experiment and others suggesting she might want to try again — this time with fewer YouTube tutorials and more “mama’s guidance.”
💬 Netizens React:
- @chefbae: “Sis said ‘Beyoncé can’t cook’ like Queen B ever tried to make Eforiro 😂.”
- @itsjaybeauty: “Lmao the soup looked confused, but at least she tried! Cooking is a process.”
- @naijataster: “If Beyoncé can’t cook and she’s a billionaire, then Erica might be onto something 😅.”
- @ebonyfoodie: “You followed YouTube, but which video sis? There are levels to this.”
Regardless of the soup saga, Erica’s message was clear: you don’t have to be a culinary expert to be a star — and confidence is still the best seasoning.
