Following Nigerian designer Ezinne Olivia’s recent accusation that Ghanaian fashion icon Nana Akua Addo did not adequately credit her for creating her AMVCA ensemble, celebrities have responded with varied opinions.
Lilian Afegbai joined the conversation by directing criticism towards designers, makeup artists, and hairstylists who persistently demand to be tagged even after receiving full payment for their services.
Expressing her frustration, Afegbai questioned the necessity of tagging designers after fulfilling financial obligations. She recounted a conversation with one designer where she asked whether she had ever received a discount in exchange for tagging them, highlighting the imbalance in the relationship.
Afegbai emphasized the importance of mutual support and collaboration within the industry, suggesting that it should be a two-way street where both parties benefit without undue demands or expectations.
