During an interview on the Live With Lynda podcast, Doyin David revealed that she was let go by a brand and confessed to portraying a fake persona during her time on the popular reality show, Big Brother Naija.
Doyin admitted that her performance on the first season of BBNaija, Level Up, was not up to her standards, prompting her to return for the All-Stars edition.
She acknowledged that she pretended to be mature and a peacemaker on the initial show, despite her natural inclination towards confrontation.
Discussing her role as an influencer, Doyin David shared that she lost a brand partnership due to an interview she participated in, acknowledging that it was a consequence she had coming.
“My first run wasn’t my best run, to be honest. I have been on the show twice, and I came out of the show, and I hated it. I was fake. I came out with the narrative that Doyin is too mature. She is always trying to talk things out; that’s not really me oo. In real life, I fight.
I am not a content creator.”
“Influencers are people who try to sell a product to their audience. I think content creators can be influencers, but I don’t think influencers can be content creators.”
“There is no bad or good brand. I had a brand that dropped me. They had signed me and paid me the money, but they called and asked for a refund, and it was because of an interview I did. And to be fair to them, I deserved to be dropped because why did I talk?”.
