According to Hilda, she would never ask fans to pay to see her and recalled her last Akwa Ibom outing, where she took pictures with about 300 fans and did not charge the fans.

"I cannot be asking people to pay to see me and stuffs like that," she said.

The Akwa Ibom indigene shared the receipts on her Insta Story and the WhatsApp conversation with the event planner, confirming how she backed out and refunded their N3 million as soon as she found out fans would have to pay N25k to see her.

She admitted making the mistake of handling the deal herself instead of having her manager do it, as has always been the case.

Hilda noted that the deal came through a friend, which was why she thought handling it herself was not a bad idea.
