Speaking in an interview on Ghanaian radio station, Hitz FM, Chioma added that she sometimes watched her movies not for entertainment purposes but watched with the aim of learning from her movies.

“I don’t like to see myself; I hate to hear my voice that is why I’m not even wearing the headphones [in the studio]. I feel I sound funny.

“I watch them not to entertainment myself but…I hate criticizing myself. I’m never enough; I just feel that way so I go back and still work…,” she told Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.
