Though I can't afford the Mercedes car I got as birthday gift, I worked hard for it - Destiny Etiko

Destiny Etiko finally opened up on the Mercedes SUV she got as a birthday gift days ago and the backlash that trailed the show-off on Instagram. 

The Enugu-born actress told Sunnewsonline that though she can't afford to buy the car, she however worked hard for it. Etiko affirmed that she doesn't care about what people say about the gift and will also not disclose who it came from. 

“I’m still super excited about my birthday. I feel happy knowing fully well that people I didn’t expect to show me love showed me so much love, so I’m happy. As for the car gift, well, I work so hard for it. Yes, but then I cannot cough out money to buy such a car; it’s not that I can’t buy a car for myself. This particular Mercedes Benz is a gift. I don’t care what people say, I won’t mention who bought it for me. That’s exactly what happened last year when my boy- friend bought me a Venza; people kept saying all sorts of things. People will always talk and I don’t care" she said.
