Abiri Oluwabusayomi is one of the most promising Instagram models with interest in fashion and beauty products.
Born on October 29, 1993, in Lagos State to Mr. and Mrs. Abiri, Oluwabusayomi is the second child of the family but the first daughter and hails from Ekiti State.
She attended Lagos State Model College, Meiran, Lagos State and later obtained a degree in Accounting from the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
Before her foray into the Big Brother Naija reality show season three where she became a housemate, Abiri was a commercial model and also worked with some known brands and advert agencies. She was into fashion designing also.
She had actually tried out at the auditioning for Big Brother Africa and the BBN before the one she eventually became a housemate in, but never got a pass. She described her experience in the house as one money could not buy.
"There were times I wanted to just go back home but I always say a strong woman doesn’t quit until she is done and that was the drive I had to endure and enjoy the confinement in the house. I’m grateful for the opportunity. If I had another chance to go for BBN and stay that long in the house, I don’t know if I would accept or not," she added.
Though she said she was not doing badly before the BBN experience and exposure, but she admitted that BBN has put more attention on her and her brand.
"I was known and well recognised but not as much as now though. Now, I am known all over the continent and that is the added advantage I got from the BBN platform. There is still the hustle and hard work but now I double the hustle and triple the price," she enthused.
On how she sees challenges, Abiri said, "Apart from the backlash I get on social media, all is well. I believe that a life without challenges is not one worth living. Challenges are there to help one grow and learn and I’m picking up very fast from the challenges that life throws at me. I don’t regret them.
"What people think or say about me is not my problem and it does not affect me. Their perception of me does not define me nor does it decrease me. I know who I am. My family and friends know me and that is what really matters.
"I have heard that I have a daughter that I abandoned. That is the height and it is very annoying. People say a lot of nonsense when their mouth is itching."
On how being famous has affected her, Abiri has this to say, "It has been good but it only affects me relationship-wise because men are now scared to approach me or want to be serious (with me). They feel like there is a price tag that comes with fame but unknown to them, I’m very much like any other lady. I’m saying this to my future man, Come close to me. I don’t bite.
"Funnily enough, I love being in a dark room, watching horror movies alone. I love the night life and also love to explore. I usually relax by cuddling. I know this sounds like a joke but it is the truth."
About her fashion, Abiri said,"When it comes to dressing, I think I like Rihanna and like to channel my ‘inner Rihanna’. She can wear anything as long as she is comfortable in it. That’s the type of person I am."
Abiri's audience demography shows 62.6 per cent of her followers are female and 37.4 per cent are male. Average engagement rate on the posts is around 0.90 per cent. The average number of likes per post is 11,237 and the average number of comments is 112.
