Nigerian veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has openly called out Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg over a puzzling drop in his Instagram followers.
In a recent clip, he revealed that his follower count, once at 2.3 million, has mysteriously fallen to 1.9 million over the past 7 to 8 months. The decline, which he noticed affecting other creators as well, left him deeply concerned.
Kanayo didn’t hold back, questioning why his numbers were shrinking instead of growing. He also highlighted a troubling trend, suggesting that African creators seemed to be disproportionately affected.
Kanayo urged Zuckerberg and his team to address the issue, emphasizing that Nigerian creators play a vital role in the platform’s success and deserve fair treatment.
He said; “I have noticed that for the past seven to eight months, my Instagram page followership which was about 2.2 or 2.3 million was brought down to 1.9 million.
“It is that my followership has not added up to one thousand for seven to eight months? It’s a matter of concern because it’s happening to a lot of people. We are using a platform that we have no control over and the way that they are treating us is very bad. So I’m calling on the owners of Instagram to treat us like content creators; it’s beneficial to you as well as it’s complementary beneficial to us.”
