Last year, Hajia Bintu traveled to Nigeria to shoot some skits with Mr. Macaroni and while there, she spent time with Nigerian celebrities, including Don Jazzy, who made her stay comfortable and memorable.
The duo featured in a dance video that went viral, sparking rumors that they were secretly dating. However, Hajia Bintu clarified in an interview with Delay that she and Don Jazzy are just friends who connected on social media, with the Nigerian music mogul sending her a direct message.
She also denied reports that Don Jazzy funded her new car, revealing that she earned money from influencer deals and instant ads on Snapchat, which allowed her to save enough to purchase the car.
Hajia Bintu explained that by posting instant ads on Snapchat and earning 500 cedis, she could make a substantial income by posting 5 or 10 ads a day, adding up to a considerable amount in a month.
Despite living in a $700-per-month apartment complex, Hajia Bintu has been able to earn a substantial income as an influencer.
