Speaking on ADBN TV, former BBNaija contestant Anto Lecky shared her thoughts on Wizkid’s choice of words.
She emphasized that calling someone an influencer is often seen as a negative remark, implying that they are jobless individuals.

To combat this stereotype, Lecky suggested the need for differentiating between types of influencers. She proposed terms like lifestyle influencer or fashion influencer to distinguish specific areas of influence.
Additionally, she personally identifies as a social influencer, emphasizing her involvement beyond just social media, including grassroots work.
Lecky’s insights shed light on the evolving nature of influencer culture and the importance of redefining perceptions to acknowledge the diverse roles and contributions within the influencer community.
