Speaking and clearing the air about stories written about her, Sola Sobowale said:

SOLA SOBOWALE: So many negative things have been written about me and some people ask me Sola, how do you have such tough skin? And my response is that as far as I am at peace with God, then I am good. When I was in UK doing my thing, they wrote a lot of things in Nigerian newspapers: "from grace to grass", that Sola Sobowale lives in London and sells eba in restaurant, that Sola Sobowale is now a cleaner in London, washing poo, cleaning bottom. It was written about me. Still nice, that was still work, because I can make eba so if I go to obodo oyibo and be selling eba, I make my money, it's no problem. If I wash bumbum, it's no problem, I'm making my money.

But the worst lie of all: that Sola Sobowale was killed in Saudi Arabia. Newspapers reported that they killed me in Saudi Arabia. That I carried cocaine. It was written in this Nigeria, that I carried cocaine in Saudi Arabia which got me arrested and there, they amputated my leg and my hands. And that I said to them, "Please I'm a star in Nigeria, because of that, just kill me and be done with it" so they killed me.

So when I got to Nigeria, at the airport, they just went berserk. Like "Ah! They said Sola Sobowale is dead na!" And I said, "do you believe in abracadabra?" They said yes. So I said "I have committed everything back, that's why I'm here" [laughs]. I said, "look, I'm alive." I have never been to Saudi Arabia before. I don't even know where Saudi Arabia is on the map. So how would I get there, or how will they kill me there? There have been so many negative things written about me but to God be the glory, God has compensated me beautifully.
