Reality television star Laura Ikeji recently got hit with an influencer rate card, and she seems to be in shock.
In a recent post, the Real Housewives of Lagos star revealed that influencers charge up to $10,000 per video, and three-million Naira to post on their Instagram stories.
Laura Ikeji also said that at this rate, influencers should be able to afford houses in Banana Island Lagos, which is one of the most expensive places to live in Lagos State.
At the end of her post, Laura Ikeji chided herself, stating that she was slacking in her job as an influencer, and that the influencers charging high amounts of money should teach her how it is done.
Netizens in the comment section gathered to share their thoughts, and here are some of the comments;

In recent times, influencers haven’t exactly had a good reputation, as quite a number of them have been called out over misconduct.
One of the most popular influencers to be called out recently is Ashmusy, and it was Very Dark Man that dragged her over some unpaid debt with a businessman in Alaba, Lagos.
