Controversial Nollywood actress turned singer and motivational speaker, Stella Damasus has a word for fans about surrounding themselves with some enemies in disguise of friends.

The mother of two took to her Instagram page to share her thoughts.

See what she wrote below…

Avoid those who call you only to give you bad news or tell you what someone else has said. Think of the people around you and try to remember how many times they call to give you good news, encourage you, support you and strengthen you as opposed to how many times they have taken from you. Be careful to choose the right people who will be in your inner circle. #stelladamasus #Atl #america #inspiration #transformation #life #changes #friendship #relationship #woman #adiva #anafricangirlabroad #africanwoman #bosslady #emotionalintelligence #lifecoach #mentor
