Former media personality, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi has taken to social media to lament how it’s unfair that brands charge celebrities at a higher rate for goods and services just because they are famous.
On Twitter, the mother-of-one shared an experience she had with a bespoke clothing brand where she was charged higher than the usual.
Gbemi noted that she had ‘DM’ed’ the brand to enquire about the price of a dress and was told it was N45,000. Her friend also DM’ed the same brand asking for the price of the very same outfit and she was told it retails for N40,000.
She noted that though the difference is only N5,000, she wondered why she was given the higher price and concluded that it just wasn’t fair. She tweeted:
“I dm’ed a bespoke brand yesterday asking about the price of a dress on their page. They said it’s 45k. I had a friend dm them as well about the same dress & they told her it’s 40k.
Yes I know it’s only 5k difference but why give me a higher price ? It’s unfair.”
