The actress, who has properties in Lagos, Nigeria, revealed her latest business venture on Sunday when she showed off one of her properties on Instagram.

“I have been working on my property here in Arizona, and I am right now rushing to go to LA because I have a meeting with the academy.

“I’m going to be flying in today, and I am going to fly back first thing tomorrow morning to finish one of the properties I am setting up here,” she wrote.

She made a selfie video of herself inside the property even though she said she was battling a cold.
