Funke Akindele has recalled her experience of being turned down by an influencer she approached to promote her 2024 film ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa
Speaking during a panel session at the Creative Africa Nexus Weekend (CANEX WKND), Akindele said she was initially reluctant to reach out to the unnamed influencer but eventually decided to send a message.
According to the actress, she waited nearly a week for a reply, only to be told that the influencer’s management had declined the collaboration.
“There was this influencer I reached out to, I sent a message to them that I would like to create content. One, two, three… for almost a week. And I did not want to send this message, this was during ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ but I tried and I was like let me send it, so I sent it,” she wrote.
“The person was like ‘I am sorry, my management does not want me to do this’. And I was like ‘I would pay’ but the person ignored me. Then months after, I read that I blocked somebody because of this.”
