About if she’s aware many consider her a sex symbol, Nancy Isime said:
“I know. And it’s weird.
Because what did I do? It’s just weird.
Because I don’t even know.
See the thing I’m talking about.
I have no makeup on.
Literally, I have a hat on. I’m all covered up. I see myself as a crush symbol because there’s a huge— everybody “you’re my crush”, “he crush”, “e crusher”, but sex symbol, I don’t get that a lot.”
She went further to say,
“…Yeah, I know probably there are fantasies of that.
And it also happens with being a single woman.
Maybe when I get married, all of that dies down a little bit.
I feel like when you’re married, that kinda dies down.
Some sick people still stay and say they want to have sex with you when you’re married, but sex symbol, I don’t see myself as that.”
