Designer’s Dilemma: Cash Payment or Celebrity Endorsement?

A fashion designer has shared her dilemma online, seeking advice regarding an unusual payment offer from a celebrity client.

While the designer kept the celebrity’s identity confidential, she revealed that they commissioned her to create several dresses.

Although no upfront payment was made, upon delivery, the designer was presented with two options: receiving a cash payment of N700,000 or receiving an “influencer” payment in the form of an Instagram tag from the celebrity.
