Actress Jackie Appiah allegedly turned down an offer worth GH40,000 to put three fliers on her Instagram profile, according to Ghanaian film director Sammy Rasta.
Sammy Rasta mentioned that a rich individual had urged him to get in touch with Jackie for the deal during an interview on Power FM monitored by Pulsegh.
Sammy Rasta claimed Jackie Appiah rejected the offer because the amount was below her brand.
He made it clear that Jackie was to receive the 5,000 cedi (approximately GH40,000) equal to five dollars if she accepted to publish the fliers three times in three weeks.
Therefore, he made the point that those who are saying she can’t afford the lifestyle she’s leading are ignorant of her riches.
“Personally, I have given Jackie Appiah a deal worth thousands of dollars which she rejected. The amount of money involved is somebody’s brand money for a year. My big man wanted Jackie to post three flyers on her Instagram. Not even with her face. Three posts on her Instagram for three weeks. It couldn’t meet her brand. 5000 dollars for three weeks. She did not accept. I know someone who has accepted a contract that is worth the amount Jackie rejected.”
He further stated that young women should refute any notions that they must engage in s3kzual contact with men in order to thrive.
“Let nobody deceive you that before you can enter the movie industry, you have to share the bed with someone. Rebranding yourself is very important. Let’s celebrate her. She is one of our own. We should be happy that someone who has worked in the creative industry can achieve what she has achieved. That will let investors realise the creative space is lucrative. But if we make it seem Jackie Appiah cannot afford to build this house then which investor will invest in our industry?”
