On February 16, Nigerian super blogger Linda Ikeji revealed she had purchased two Hermes Birkin bags after waiting eight months for them.
The
drama of the Birkin bags started after that with many Instagram users
saying the bags were fake. Later that night Linda Ikeji vehemently denied she bought fake Birkin bags, and said the designer bags are worth N4.8m.

Linda Ikeji's effort to proof the authenticity of her bags were seen as tasteless by some of her fans.
Today
(February 18) Linda Ikeji has released a statement via her Instagram
apologizing to her fans for her behaviour the other day.
You can read her full statement below;
"Let
me apologize to the true Linda Ikeji fans who may have been
disappointed by my rant the other day! I reacted because I thought it
was really a confirmation from Hermes. But I later found out that Hermes
would never confirm the authenticity of a bag over IG dm. If they’re
wrong, the owner of the bag could sue so usually they ask you to bring
the bag into one of their stores and if they find it to be a
counterfeit, they could seize it. So that dm was a fluke.

"But
anyway, enough about the bag. It’s so petty! Can’t believe how much we
argued over it and how crazy I went over it! But the whole drama has
made me realise that the amount I spent on 2 bags could have changed a
few lives if I’d invested it in them. But I’m bag obsessed, what can I
say? . May God bless you so much that the least of your worries will
be a bag! Anyway, I’ve decided to double the amount of money I’ll give
out this year to aspiring female entrepreneurs. Been feeling a little
guilty I want to redeem myself.

"I’ve
told my pple to find a venue asap and have y’all meet me soon. Success
is sweet, I tell you! When you don’t have to depend on daddy, husband,
bf, Aristo. ..for anything you want..nothing beats that! I want so many
ladies to succeed so the next generation can have more women to look up
to. Plus, one of the must rules of getting blessings from God..is that
you must spread it. You’re allowed to buy bags every now & then
but you must help others..That’s the only way He will continue to bless
you!

"Anyway,
having said all that..I’m going on a luxury trip to Dubai soon with
family and friends and I’d like to a take a true fan along. It will be
an all-expense paid trip with shopping money included. Trying to figure
out how to chose though.
