This she explained is because of her sexy pictures she posts there.<\/p>\n<p>Aside her social media \u2018sexy\u2019 body display, the 26 years old also added that her outspoken personality is a factor to her popularity.<\/p>\n<h3>Efia Odo Speaks<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI made my name because of Instagram and because of the kind of pictures I post on social media. I\u2019ve read comments that people ask \u2018why is this girl a celebrity\u2019? And it\u2019s not like I haven\u2019t done movies but I haven\u2019t done a lot for my name to be popular. It\u2019s all about my Instagram pictures, my provocative ways or my outspoken personality and not because of my movies. Some people will think is because of \u2018Heels and Sneakers\u2019 but I have been shooting before \u2018Heels and Sneakers\u2019. So it&#8217;s not because of the movies that I\u2019m known for Efia Odo but I\u2019m known because of social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She told Sammy Flex on Zylofon FM.<\/p>\n<p>Efia Odo works as a nurse assistant in the US and makes good money for herself.<\/p>\n<p>The vivacious actress said directors and producers are not giving her roles to play. This was when she was asked why she is not mostly features in movies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not my fault that I\u2019m not referred to as a known actress because they aren\u2019t calling me. They aren\u2019t giving me jobs. Kofi Asamoah said the reason why he always casts the known faces in his movies is because they are good to him. They respect his works and will not waste his time to go and call the up and coming actors since they are disrespectful. But I can\u2019t speak for them because I\u2019m not like that but he (Kofi Asamoah) doesn\u2019t know that, she added.<\/p>\n<p>Efia is noted by many for what they describe as her &#8216;indecent exposure&#8217; of her body on social media. She was recently back lashed by many Ghanaians when she released sizzling pictures of her bikini photo shoots.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budding actress, Andrea Owusu known in showbiz as Efia Odo has said her rise to stardom was via social media and not through movies as has been speculated by a section of the public.
