Ilebaye Odinaya, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, has taken to social media to express her frustration about being charged an exorbitant amount for a makeup session.
Ilebaye, who won N120 million on the reality show, shared a post on her Twitter account accusing a makeup artist of charging her N120,000 for their services. She questioned why people felt entitled to charge her more just because she had won money.
"Because I win N120M person charge me N120k for makeup. This is absurd! I mean, come on, is my face gold-plated now or something? #Ridiculous #PriceGouging"
Ilebaye's tweet sparked a heated debate online, with many users sharing their own experiences of being charged higher prices due to their perceived wealth.
Some users defended the makeup artist, arguing that they were simply charging a premium price for their services. They pointed out that Ilebaye was now a public figure and could afford to pay the higher price.
Others, however, sided with Ilebaye, criticizing the practice of price gouging and accusing the makeup artist of taking advantage of Ilebaye's situation. They argued that everyone deserves to be treated fairly, regardless of their financial status.
Ilebaye has not yet responded to the backlash, but her tweet has certainly ignited a conversation about the issue of price gouging and the importance of fair pricing.
It is important to note that the validity of Ilebaye's claim cannot be independently verified. However, her tweet highlights a common experience faced by many people, especially those who are perceived as wealthy.
