Reality TV star Laura Ikeji recently received a shock when she was presented with an influencer rate card.
In a recent social media post, the star of Real Housewives of Lagos disclosed that influencers charge as much as $10,000 for a video and three million Naira for an Instagram story post.
Ikeji expressed her dismay at the high cost of hiring influencers, suggesting that with these rates, they should be able to afford homes in the exclusive Banana Island area of Lagos.
She ended her post by slamming herself for not charging such high amounts and expressed a desire to learn from those who do.
Netizens in the comment section shared their thoughts on the matter.
