This week, we dedicate our Woman Crush Wednesday (WCW), December 10, 2025, to a woman whose presence in the Nigerian creative landscape is both bold and impossible to ignore — the multi-talented Beverly Osu.
As a celebrated actress, model, and creative muse, Beverly embodies the new wave of Nigerian entertainers who are actively redefining identity, beauty, and performance on their own uncompromising terms.
From Video Vixen to Cinematic Star

Beverly Osu first captured the public eye through her work as a model and prominent video vixen (notably appearing in hit music videos like Ice Prince's "Oleku"). Her career reached mainstream recognition after her impactful participation in the 8th season of Big Brother Africa in 2013, where she notably was the only contestant never nominated for eviction.
Bringing that same intensity and fearless confidence to the screen, she has established herself as an actress known for raw, immersive, and daring performances. Her notable filmography includes:
Òlòtūré (as Peju)
Chief Daddy (as Sandra Bello)
Nneka the Pretty Serpent
The Family
Creepy Lives Here
Each role reinforces her reputation as a transformative actress who embodies her characters with a compelling mix of vulnerability and power.

What truly distinguishes Beverly Osu is her skill in merging acting with high-concept art. She is one of the Nigerian industry's few figures who consistently utilizes photography, fashion, and meticulous visual direction to tell complex, layered stories about womanhood, sensuality, identity, and personal freedom.
Her viral creative shoots and editorial concepts often spark crucial conversations and establish her as a cultural figure who chooses to challenge norms rather than simply conform to them.
Championing Authentic Self-Expression

In a sphere where many play it safe, Beverly Osu champions her unique individuality. She is an outspoken voice for:
Authenticity and Self-Acceptance
Body Positivity and Confidence
Emotional Vulnerability in the Public Eye
Through her work and her platform, she encourages women to show up in their complete truth, unfiltered and unapologetic. We applaud her for prioritizing bravery over conformity and for reminding us that the highest form of artistry is found in self-acceptance.
