Actor IK Ogbonna Slams Clout Chasers

 

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna is calling a spade a spade and he’s not sugarcoating it.

Taking to Instagram, the ever-outspoken actor dropped a pointed message that’s resonating far beyond the scroll. In his words: “In today’s world, clout is the new currency... and a lot of people are desperate to spend.”

It’s a sharp jab at the growing obsession with internet fame, where likes, views, and controversy often outweigh talent, values, or authenticity. Ogbonna’s message goes deeper than just a social media rant it’s a warning.

He criticized the culture of attention-seeking at all costs, from dragging others for engagement to fabricating drama just to trend. But he didn’t stop there.

“The same internet that crowned you today can cancel you tomorrow,” he wrote, dropping truth like a mic.

The actor’s commentary touches a nerve in today’s influencer-driven climate where going viral is the new ambition even if it comes with no substance or staying power.
