Nollywood actress Gloria Anozie-Young has lent her voice to the issue between her younger colleague in Ghana Nana Akua Addo and Nigerian fashion designer Ezinne Oliva.
Ezinne had lamented about not being given credit for the stylish white dress she made for Ghanaian actress Nana Akua Addo at the African Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA 2024). However, Nana denied her claims and filed a lawsuit against her.
According to the thespian, being tagged on social media for a service received from a vendor is not mandatory if the person has been paid.

I don’t tag people – Gloria reveals
The beautiful role interpreter noted it is her choice to tag vendors and she cannot be compelled to do so.
“It is not by force to tag a vendor. I don’t tag people except when they are close to me or we have an arrangement and agreement. But if I have paid you, why should I tag you? Am I trying to rub off my publicity on you? It is not necessary.”
She gave further reasons she could tag a vendor, adding that the product has to be good.
“People need to understand the etiquette on things like this on social media. If there is an agreement, then fine. But if there is none, forget it. When I buy stuff from people, and I have paid you, it is left for how good it is (before I may tag you). But if you plead with me to please tag you for a small promo, then I can. But it is not by force.”
Gloria speaks on celebs tagging foreign brands
Sharing her take on Nigerian celebs who tag foreign brands but would not do so for local brands, she said:
“If I want a vendor’s publicity to rub off on me, I will tag the brand. If you are a big and I want to associated with your brand, I will tag you. I will even ask for a collaboration. It is left for you to say yes or no.”
