Anto Lecky Expresses Her Frustration at How Influencers are Often Viewed as Jobless

In the aftermath of the recent clash between Wizkid and Don Jazzy, Anto Lecky has voiced her concern about how influencers are perceived by society.

The exchange between the two music figures saw Wizkid label Don Jazzy as just an “influencer,” a term that sparked controversy.

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.

Lecky highlighted the common misconception that influencers, especially those on social media, are perceived as lacking meaningful employment opportunities.

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.
