The most popular lifestyle and fashion statement in the celebrity circle is “fake it till you make it”. This explains the propensity of public figures putting up the looks and living the lifestyles that are way beyond their means.
Many do this to attract juicy deals that would upgrade their bank account to the façade they have been living but for Mariam Balogun, foremost American-based Nigerian influencer, “all my designer outfits belong to me. I have worked my butt out and earn legit on this street. I am team zero fake life.”
With her recent luxurious displays on Instagram, May May, as she is fondly called, has attracted a lot of positive and negative attention. Others believe the lifestyle and fashion influencer is yet another Nigerian celebrity living the fake life abroad, but she said, “others could be doing this here but I am not part of such trivialities. Go ask about me, I have been on this P for ages and deserve all accolades as one of Naija’s finest offshore.”
Notable for styling Nigerian celebrities such as Toke Makinwa, Mercy Ike, Simply Tacha, the wife of 2baba, Ani Idibia, and many more stars, Mariam Balogun is unequivocal on her credibility and wouldn’t sleep on her brand being associated with the “fake it till you make it” band.
“It is only those who don’t know me that would ever think I can fake a lifestyle. I am not into that and I suggest you do a proper check before associating my name with this,” she concluded.
