Online sensation and former bread seller, Olajumoke Orisaguna, has courted outrage on social media after she recounted her struggles in the limelight on the Honest Bunch podcast. Jumoke revealed shocking details about her past, including abuse in her marriage and alleged exploitation in the entertainment industry.
Fans have gone talking, however, about her revelation that she did not get paid to dance to Harrysong’s hit song Chacha, in contrast to an earlier post where she thanked the singer for sending her a token of N400,000, a move which now questions the sincerity and transparency of some individuals within the industry.
Jumoke’s experience shows the realities that many face in the process of trying to make their way up into the limelight. Her story brings into view a lack of adequate support and accountability for the person thrust into the limelight without proper guidance.
