Kate Henshaw has responded to praise from a social media user over her role at the burial of veteran actor Olu Jacobs, while making it clear that she was not the only person who contributed.

The actress also acknowledged several people who played different roles and explained that she simply showed up in her own way for someone she loved and cared about.

Kate Henshaw Responds To Praise

A social media user recently praised Kate Henshaw for what she did during Olu Jacobs’ burial, describing her contribution as impressive.

In response, Henshaw thanked the user identified as Ogayenne but declined to accept the praise as though she had handled everything herself.

“Thank you my brother Ogayenne. I won’t take your accolades alone 🙏… Let me just say I wasn’t the only one.”

The actress went on to recognise several others whom she said also played their part.

Kate Henshaw Credits Others For Their Contributions

Henshaw mentioned Chisom, Deola, Kemi Lala, Ireti, Yolanda and Olamide among those who contributed.

She also acknowledged event planner Ebun and her associates, Adebisi, Rosemary and Shalom, while noting that there were others she could not remember at the time.

“We all played our part,” Henshaw said.

Her response shifted the focus away from her individual contribution and towards the collective effort of those involved.

‘I Show Up In My Own Way’

Explaining why she was present and involved, Henshaw said she has her own way of showing up for people who matter to her.

“I show up in my own way, the way I know how to for the ones I love & care about.”

She ended her message by thanking Ogayenne again and using the phrase “Nothing dey this life”, which she repeated before wishing him well.

“Nothing dey this life. God bless you too. 🙏 I repeat, nothing dey this life.”

Henshaw’s response therefore focused less on receiving personal recognition and more on acknowledging the people who contributed alongside her.
