has been accused of buying one million Instagram followers. Did someone say tea time?
The claims were made by celeb stylist and “former friend” of Mutesi, , who was interviewed on the “” poddy.
“It fascinates me how she went from 200,000 followers pre-lockdown to 1.2 million,” to host .
“I think she bought one million followers and thinks that the rest of us are idiots.”

For a bit of context, the main issue around purchasing bot followers is that influencers receive work based on their ability to spruik a product to potential customers.

Mutesi also attended a cursed Halloween party in October proving that she does indeed cop the most exclusive (??) invites in town.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that party…
This past week hasn’t gone nearly as well for the influencer on after she was and sent packing from Argentina.
