Why I can never pay creatives in full and still tag them – Actress Lilian Afegbai

Ghanaian style icon Nana Akua Addo and Nigerian designer Ezinne Olivia issue which set a buzz following the AMVCA held over the weekend.

Ezinne claimed her was the one behind the Nana akua’s ensemble, which secured her a spot among the best dressed attendee that evening, and also criticized the Ghanaian for failing to credit her on social media instead giving the credit to another designer. Nana Akua also claimed Ezinne’s part in the making of the ensemble was minimal compared to the other designer.

Actress Lilian Afegbai dropped her two cent on the matter in a video where she said she doesn’t owe any designer a mention on any of her social media pages.

Visiotalks captured some of the reactions, while some were supporting with the actress words, others were against it. Read their comments below:

jenn.y_elvi.s I don’t think the creative had a problem with not getting tagged BUT TAGGING SOMEONE ELSE FOR HER HARDWORK IS WITCHCRAFT. I don’t see how you PEOPLE are missing the point. But if it were big brands now, ya’ll will happily tag after paying in full + without discount smh

vicky_oraj But you paid Guci, Prada and those international brands in full when buying shoes, bags etc and you still tag them.

afontyzstyling Truly certain people become unattractive when you see how they reason… The least you can do to promote one’s business is just a tag! If you got the services of top designers or even foreign designers,You would have wanted the world to know.

thewigshop_uk Same reason I ask my photographer to remove their logo from my photos… like I paid for those pictures, why are your logos there???

teggywales Parents teach your children the importance of kindness, let them know helping someone grow is not being used. The joy I derive when I tag businesses I shop with.

fab_bennyeestores Anty rest…. If u no want tag the person no wahala, but do not give another person someone’s credit that’s evil na. Una celebrity ur hearts are bitter

fayte_eva Most creatives are just greedy! They want to over charge when they know you’re a celebrity or popular yet they want you to tag them and refer them to your colleagues! Life doesn’t work that way! STOP BEING ENTITLED And for those shouting but they tag Gucci, Prada, etc… It’s their choice and you have no right whatsoever to feel entitled! Build your brand too. Also how do you know that those international brands don’t give celebrities discounts?

karlmike_official She’s right tbh… y’all be feeling entitled like tf, how do you expect someone to tag you when they paid you in full.

am_sonia l hate that I have to say this about this babe Lilian you sound empty

tinyfitting Veekee-James once said; the same celebrities who refused to tag you, will pay high ends brands huge money and still tag them 10x folds. In other words, people like to associate with greatness. Just work on your brand and creativity, when you blow, they will be begging to be in your space.
