Omotola paid $650,000 to get on the Times 100 Most Influential list?

I woke this morning to find this very absurd allegation. Yes, I will use the word ‘allegation’. Coming from American based Nigerian blogger Sheifunmi, who has in the past engaged in a twitter war with Davido and Wizkid because of his vivacious and extremely vocal persona.

Well, our dear blogger boy has come up with another story of our very own Omotola and how she bought her way to have a spot at the Times100 with a whopping $650,000, which when converted to Naira is over a hundred Million Naira. Yes people pay money to get the right PR, all over the world; but to splurge such amount is outrageous. …..According to him, he got the story through a grape vine. This is what he wrote below:

"Before we get into it and stans or celebrities with mild relevance start coming at me with a bullet-less gun thinking they have a shot, let’s get one thing out of the way; This is a gossip type website. Any information contained on this site is reported as rumor and not actual facts unless receipts(proofs) are shown, official news/confirmation from a celeb’s rep/camp or i am talking about my own experiences. Do not take offense to any material on this site because everyone has the right to their side of the story. I am willing to hear all sides. Anyone in this industry, including myself will be subject to being put on blast. What you see is what you get! This is all for your own entertainment purposes… Now moving on.

An insider who happens to work closely with the most loved actress squealed details about Omotola making 2013 TIME Magazine 100 (Most Influential People in the World) list, stating that the actress paid a whooping sum of 650,000 dollars (which is over a 100 million naira if converted) to get a slot on that list.

Now i don’t know how true this is but i won’t find it amusing if she paid to make the list. Rich people (especially Nigerians) tend to pay for a lot of things (like Grammy,MTV,Bet award tickets which comes in different packages but the one they mostly go for is the full package with the hotel covered, access to Clive David’s pre-grammys party, red carpet, a seat next to a celebrity and after party, Forbes list, etc) to get recognised or live that ‘party with celebrities’ lifestyle."
