According to her, she even turned down the offer without thinking much of it.<\/p>\n
Later that day, she spoke with a friend who was excited about the opportunity and encouraged her to reconsider.<\/p>\n
That conversation led her to call the director back, and she got the details for the shoot.<\/p>\n

Jegede described the moment as surreal and memorable, but insisted it did not change her mind about being a video vixen.<\/p>\n
She maintained that acting was her main goal, and her appearance in African Queen was simply a one-off opportunity she accepted on impulse.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cAnd Tuface had just broken out of the Plantashun Boiz, and I had not heard any of his solo songs. So, I did not know what \u2018African Queen\u2019 was; I wondered, what is \u2018African Queen\u2019, and which song is that?<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAnd a friend of mine and I were speaking later that evening, and it just popped in my head, and I was like, hey, Michael, somebody said I should come and do one stupid thing, and I just said \u2018African Queen\u2019, the guy just screaming, I love that song, go and do it.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAnd I said, okay, let me call the director. And I did, and that very night, he gave me the address, told me what to do, and how to get my hair prepped for the shoot. I got the address and went.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAnd lo and behold, I saw that legend Tuface, for the first time, I am like, \u2018Ooh, so this is real\u2019. But no, I did not want to be a vixen after that. I just wanted to act; I kept telling everyone, \u2018I just want to act.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
