Nollywood actress Scarlet Gomez has humorously shut down a request from a social media user who asked for ₦200 million, claiming that they were related because they share the same surname.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the fan, who shared the surname “Gomez,” suggested that the name signified a family connection, and further asked the actress for a large sum to fund a business venture.

The fan wrote, “We bear the same surname… So we are somehow related… my sister… I need 200 million for my business.”

Scarlet, known for her wit and charm, quickly responded with a playful clarification. She joked that the surname “Gomez” came from her husband, emphasizing that the fan would need to ask him for the money.

“Na from my husband hand you go collect that money 😂 that’s where I got the name from,” Scarlet replied, laughing off the request.

Her humorous response has since gone viral, with fans applauding her ability to handle such an unusual situation with grace and humor.
