Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has recalled how an influencer turned down an offer to promote her work before her movie went on to gross N1bn, according to P.M. News.
The report quotes her as saying she reached out to one influencer with a request for content creation. The publication did not say where or when she made the remarks.
What Funke Akindele said
P.M. News quoted her as saying: "There was one influencer I reached out to. I sent a message to them that I would like to create content. One, two, three, four times a week. And I didn’t want to send this message. This was during Everybody Loves Jenifa, but I tried," she recalled.
From the account, the approach was made while Everybody Loves Jenifa was being promoted. The headline of the report says the offer was paid and that it was rejected. The excerpt available does not name the influencer or give their reasons.
The N1bn gross comes from the P.M. News headline. The supplied text gives no breakdown of the figure and no detail on the period or markets it covers.
