Edo narrated how she bought her second car back in the mid-2000s and how there had been a lot of whispering from colleagues, especially since she was the only celebrity who had the car at the time.
The movie star explained that before then, she had been working consistently for about six years and had earned enough to reward herself handsomely.
Edo said she doesn’t know how her male counterparts manage their finances or work consistently to earn enough.

Social media users react to Ini Edo's comment

"I still didn’t hear how female actresses seem to be doing better than their male counterparts. At the peak of her career in the early 2000s, how could she afford a Murano truck when people claim actors were being paid 30-100k per film. I don’t know her repertoire of films but I wouldn’t put her numbers in the leagues of Ozorkwo or Osofia yet they couldn’t afford/didn’t buy such."
