Laura Ikeji, a prominent influencer and entrepreneur, has publicly endorsed actress Annie Idibia amidst criticism stemming from her portrayal on the reality television program, *Young, Famous & African*.

In a post on her Instagram story, Laura called on Annie's friends, who are familiar with her true nature, to avoid aligning with outsiders in their criticism. 

Drawing from her own experiences with reality television, Laura recognized the mental strain these programs can impose and encouraged others to extend love and positive energy towards Annie. 

She emphasized the significance of loyalty, urging friends to remain steadfast in their support for Annie during challenging moments instead of yielding to public scrutiny.

She posted on her Instagram story: “If you’re Annie’s friend and you know her and know that she’s an amazing person pls do not join people who haven’t met her to kick her down.

“If she has ever been nice to you, defend her where people speak ill of her, and if you don’t want to defend her, keep mute, do not join them to speak ill of her.

“Reality shows will mess with your head. So if you have known her before the show, continue to show her love. Let people who haven’t encountered her judge her from the show but you. You have met her and she’s your girl, maintain that positive energy. Do not join the negative conversation”.

“U see me? In my heart, I might know you’re wrong o, but I will never kick you in front of our enemies.

“You don’t have to be my friend. Maybe that’s why people think I like friendship too much.

“I don’t care about friendship, but I know you, and like you, I will never kick you while you’re down. No matter how stup!d I look”.
