What if it was a paid appearance? Ini Edo's fan asks
As Ini Edo continued to face backlash for attending a birthday party after her dad's funeral, Legit.ng had a chat with one of the actress' fans, Damilola, and here's what she had to say:
“What if it was a paid appearance? I think people on social media can like to downgrade our Nigerian celebrities. It is possible that Ini Edo was paid to attend that event even before her father’s death. Honestly, dealing with loss is not an easy thing and if she wants to unwind with friends as her coping mechanism, that’s fine. Because once she goes back home after the party, only her father will fill her thoughts.”
