Fashion entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani and club owner, Pretty Mike are individuals who often stir controversies on social media.
Weeks back the duo undressed to promote a product on Instagram. This sparked negative reactions with many condemning the provocative display of their nudity.
In a chat with Media Room Hub, Lawani said most of what she did in the controversial raunchy shoot was largely edited.
“The pictures I post are usually edited. I am not always naked in them. So, you can’t compare me trying to do a skin shoot to actually going naked on TV. How much are you going to pay me now? I will never do that.
“I actually agree that I’m a drama queen due to my style and creativity. But I’m not stupidly dramatic, I’m being dramatic out of hard work. My recent shoot with Mike was a professional shoot. To be honest, most of it was edited. Our private parts were not even touching at all. So I don’t even care what anyone has to say. I was paid to do a job and I did it. We are only trying to change the narrative”.
Asked why she goes nude on social media, the award-winning fashion stylist said : “I make people embrace all these things because it’s part of our work at the end of the day. If you are selling lingerie or you have a lingerie line, how do you promote it? You wear them, you wear bikinis if that’s what you sell. Same with skin line, I have a skin care solution called “Tiannah‘s Glow” and how do I show you that my skin is nice? So, I have to embrace my sensuality, beautiful skin and all. Those pictures they talk about have secured loads of jobs for me both locally and internationally. I’m sexy, I‘m not going to take my body to heaven so why not?”
