I keep saying this over and over again, but this “influencer” culture is a complete mystery to me and I think a lot of people are going to look back on this phenomenon with embarrassment. Hey, maybe I’m wrong, but that’s just my opinion.
Either way, I think this story is enough to make anyone question this influencer hype that’s been created on social media.
Temitope Adesina is a beauty and fashion influencer on social media. She’s pregnant and she’s been including her pregnancy in her online content.

Adesina also created another Instagram account…that is supposed to be her unborn child…and she’s having conversations with the unborn baby on Instagram in the comments.
Nothing like getting them started young, I guess.

The baby was obviously very happy about this development.

Hmmmm. Okay. And then someone asked her about the whole thing.

Some people on social media think the whole thing is ridiculous and they sounded off about it.

This has to be THE most bizarre and imaginative use of social media I have seen in some time. Social media influencer Temitope Adesina is pregnant.

2/5 unborn baby, called ‘Naturally Baby Temi’! And she is (simulating) having a conversation with her unborn baby… ON INSTAGRAM!
There are many instances of mothers speaking to their child in the womb, in history and mythology. Most famously, in Mahabharatha, Krishna was pic.twitter.com/54fbPpdeWU

But it looks like Adesina herself doesn’t really care about the negativity.

Hmmmmm…very odd indeed. But again, that’s just my opinion.
How do you feel about this? Do you think it’s strange? Normal? Acceptable? Wrong?
