“I Ran Away!” – Lege Miami Claims CNN Invited Him Just to Embarrass Him Over His English
Nollywood actor and comedian Lege Miami has once again sent social media into a frenzy after claiming that CNN invited him for an interview — just to disgrace him.
In a now-viral video shared via his Instagram, Lege, known for his comic personality and famously awkward command of English, alleged that the international news outlet wanted to “embarrass” him on global television.
🗣️ “All Nigerians, guess what? CNN news invite me for an interview — I ran away! They want to disgrace me, they want to embarrass me. I can’t speak good English ooo.”
😂 Internet Reactions Pour In
As expected, Nigerians on social media are having a field day reacting to the video:
“At least the man knows his strengths and weaknesses — respect!”
“CNN go learn Yoruba, make we balance the interview.”
“Abeg CNN should let our Lege be oo, we like him the way he is!”
Many have applauded Lege’s honesty and humor, while others say the clip is just another example of his unique brand of viral content.
🧠 Opinion: Language Barriers Don’t Define Intelligence — Or Relevance
Lege Miami’s viral clip might be funny, but it also brings up an important reminder: fluency in English doesn’t determine a person’s worth, success, or influence. In fact, Lege has carved a niche for himself in Nollywood and Nigerian pop culture — regardless of his grammar.
Plus, in an era where authenticity matters more than polish, Lege’s confidence and unfiltered style might just be what makes him beloved across the country.
